I currently take 30 mg of Abilify and it has never increased my anxiety, but I also take Zyprexa (I'm on a pretty complex cocktail of meds).

I've always found the Zyprexa works better for things like paranoia, etc., but I am sure you have your reasoning for preferring Abilify.

Anyway, I hope the anxiety goes away!
Thank you!

I have klonopin for prn. I'm not 100% sure if it's the abilify or Thorazine that's working for the paranoia since I started them around the same time, could be both together. I'm also on a moodstabilizer and some other meds , it kind of feel a chemistry experiment lol but so far this combo is working really well
