> I take Perphenazine sometimes for anxiety. I have depression with a lot of anxiety. Just started some amisulpride and it helps some. Was wondering if perhaps I should try Ablify for the depression and anxiety since the perphenazine helps but I only take it when I am extremely anxious?
Hi.
If you are looking to use something on an as-needed basis, I'm not sure Abilify is the right drug for you. Early in treatment, it can actually produce anxiety and restlessness. If you were to consider using it every day, it might be OK. It has a long half-life. You might do well with 5-10mg per day. I am currently taking 10mg.
What about Zyprexa or Seroquel as a PRN? Seroquel can be soporific, but isn't so for everyone. It wasn't for me.
