No I was just wondering cause I always heard its an add on to other meds. But I'm on it alone just curious to see if anyone else was. Thanks for answering.

I had wondered the same thing. Pdoc and I are considering switching to Abilify alone in the next few months (due to a few reasons). I have had great success with it in a combo, but I was unsure it would work alone for my BP II. He says it can.

Best,
EJ

What I've read about it, but this was as an add on, it other a hit or miss drug. Not sure where I Land yet cause I've only n it a little over a week and had good and bad days. Tiredness is a big problems for me that I hope goes away.

Apparently only a small subset of people find it sedating. Unfortunately, I am one of them. It worked so well otherwise, though, that it was worth it. Pdoc suggested that if we try it again I take it at night.

Good luck!

Just abilify, and clonapzepan; the smallest dose and only when needed for anixity. I've only been talking half, when needed, cause of the abilify makes me too tried.
