In reply to Abilify...Has anyone solved the side effects?, posted by lesliekay on July 27, 2003, at 2:28:45
I would try the following, in order:
1. Cogentin (benztropine)
2. Inderal (propanolol)
3. Klonopin (clonazepam)
4. Symmetrel (amantadine)Akathisia is a horrible side effect and has made me quit taking several of the atypicals. It has even driven some to suicide. The atypicals (Abilify, Geodon, Seroquel, Risperdal, etc.) are supposed to have fewer EPS side-effects than the typicals, but I have not found this to be the case. I take Haldol PRN and am very satisfied.
