SunsetParadise49 Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Today I was prescribed Abilify. My doctor has me on a low dose (2mg) as it can cause low blood pressure and high heart rate. I'm just wondering if any of you have taken it and what your experiences have been.Thanks!

ajw4790 Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Sorry I haven't been. Was it prescribed for POTS symptoms? Just curious if that is also used? I hope you have good luck with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs. Burschman Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Wish I could help! I've tried just about every psychiatric drug out there trying to find something to help my "anxiety" (which we now know in large part is dysautonomia). But not Abilify.I had a weird reaction to Seroquel. I couldn't even take a quarter of a tablet without it knocking me out. I guess it helped my "anxiety" since I wasn't awake!Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunsetParadise49 Posted December 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Thank you everyone. So far I'm doing well with Abilify and I haven't had any noticeable side effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastordari Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 I know this is an old thread . . . I was [rescribed abilify for treatment resistant depression several weeks ago. In the interim I've gained 20 pounds. Are you still side-effect free? Have you noticed anything?Thanks for any insight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
