Hi all,
Dont usually post here but in need of some help. My doctor wants me to make a decision or put some thought into me switching from abilify to risperdone for my bipolar. I am currently on 600mg of lithium and 20mg of abilify. But the abilify is giving me lots of anxiety and making me a bit edgy... I also am very apathetic and tired. Not sure if its the medicine or my depression but im not usually like that even when im depressed; i have more walking depression. But the abilify has helped my psychotic thoughts and suicidal behavior. She has also told me to consider raising the lithium... What i would really like is something to push me out of the apathetic rut but anything like wellbutrin is a no-no of course... Thoughts? experiences with both drugs? help? pizza? lol |

Risperdone turned me into a vegetable. It slowed down my OCD but it slowed down all my thinking as well. I finally quit when I experienced double vision. The only antipsychotic I ever found tolerable was Rexulti and it's new, but is one of the most expensive drugs I have ever taken.
