Recently, my abilify seemed to have just stop working. When I first started taking it I had all kinds of sensations and things letting me know it was starting to work throughout my body. Even waking up with severe anxiety. Which was scary at first. But I always felt better in a few weeks. Then I’d stupidly came off of it and started back on it again. It was kinda a relief to go back on. I suffer from pretty bad anxiety, bipolar 1, and OCD tendencies. Which I always feel like are false whenever I’m feeling better. So, I’d come off my abilify. Now it seems I’ve come off and on so many times my body is just use to it or something. 10 mg use to work. Now I’ve reached 20 mg and have severely rapid heart rate.

Now my doctor wants me to try Seroquel. Which is terrifying me because abilify is the only medication I’ve been on, and worked so well when I started it. I’m afraid I ruined the one good medication that could help me. Has anyone gone from abilify to Seroquel with successful results? Or even just had good experiences with Seroquel? I start Seroquel tomorrow night. As I said before I’m terrified that nothing will work for me the same again. But I have nothing else but to at least try. I swear, if this does help me though, I’m never coming off it unless it stops working.

Thank you so much for reading.
