I spent about 4-5 months on Abilify (up to 2.5 mgs) to augment my low dose Celexa and "stabilize" me a little.
It helped with my sexual avoidance problems and the scattered racy feeling I usually have in my brain, and I was less likely to consider suicide.
But it also got in the way of exercise/muscle strength and made me bored with everyone. It affected my sleep and tampted down overall vitality.
when I stopped completely I had a week of happy bright feelings (and raciness) followed by pretty intense depression, despite adding 5mgs of celexa.
Has anyone experienced this? I hope it goes away. I was thinking about replacing Abilify with Seroquel to help with the sexual avoidance and self-possession but I don't know if I should expect the same flatness and strength issues.
any thoughts??
thanks!
