Sorry I did not respond to your question earlier, lost track there....
It truly is difficult for me to sort out which med gives me what benefit..I did not begin them all at once, but in rather rapid succession....I do know that
1-Abilify does a lot for my anxiety. This really seems individual--some people have the opposite effect. But I know at least two other people on this board take it for anxiety relief...
2-Adderall gives me energy and focus, I type better but not without mistakes :)
I had some akasthisia with Abilify when I first started it up...I went down on the dose until it subsided, then went up in about a week or so with no problems...so for me it took a week or so to subside. I do not know whether the Adderall may help in that regard, i had not considered that as a possibility.Sorry I could not help more there...
