So, I've just started two new meds.
I think one of them is buspar for anxiety and the other is abilify. But I am taking the abilify at the same time as my risperdal right now. So, lately since I started the abilify, I've felt these weird poundings in my chest that come and go. My chest doesn't hurt or anything, it's just a weird, fast pounding. But I've only felt that after I've had a bad anxiety attack or something. So, my question is, should I continue taking my abilify and just use the buspar to control the anxiety (if in case it is an anxiety related issue) or would it be smarter to just stop the abilify in case the issue is like... palpations or something related to the abilify?

Abilify can cause palpitations.
Are you taking Abilify as a PRN for anxiety?

No, I am supposed to be takin it daily voices.
This is only my third day taking it, and I'm at the starting dose of 5mg, but next week I am supposed to go up to 10mg. So, should I wait until I go up to 10mg to see if the chest pounding is still going on? Or should I probably stop now ? |

Check with your prescribing doctor. Could be nothing but why take the chance. Good luck.

YES check with your doctor before you do anything, there could be serious side affects to stopping it on your own
