I am taking Pristiq and Ability 2mg. I have joint pain and swelling from Abilify. Looking for substitute for Ability as add-on without these side effects.

I don't know why your post was moved to this forum--did you move it or did a moderator? you may want to ask this question in the medication forum if you haven't already.
oh, and welcome!

Have you looked into Cymbalta? Just a thought see lots of commercials for it, I was thinking about trying to switch to it due to my knees sometimes bothering me, not as a side effect of anything other than getting old.

Cymbalta could replace Pristiq (which is basically Effexor but, changed a bit for patent purposes I presume, so if you want to save some money switch to generic Effexor first) as a different SNRI antidepressant but, Abilify is an antipsychotic medication. Joint pain and swelling isn't a common side effect of that medication, do you know why it would cause that for you? Is it that you're more jittery and moving around a lot more? There are a lot of atypical antipsychotics out there that you can try. You'll want to figure out why this effect is happening so, talk to your doctor.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
