Ok Im taking Abilify & Pristiq for my anxiety and depression. My question is if anyone else her is taking them and if it makes you constantly stiff in your muscles and shaky all the time. Ive been on them for over 2 months and I still dont have any energy. And Im always walking around with stiff muscles. And what do yall do for it. Im taking muscle relaxers but they dont seem to help.

I take abilify and pristiq (and a few other things). I've never had the symptoms you mention.

Do you have/are you taking the muscle relaxers for the stiffness caused by these two meds or do you have the muscle relaxer left over from some other problem? I would certainly ask the doctor as, if they are left over muscle relaxers, it's possible the new meds cause the old problem to flare?

The muscle stiffness you mention could be caused by Abilify. It always causes dystonic reactions for me, even at small doses. When it happened, I was given Benadryl. It helped a lot. Speak to you doctor; it could be as simple as that.

Neither caused any issues for me. I hope your doctor can help.
