Hi J,
Famotidine doesn't usually cause many side effects, but the doses which have been tried in schizophrenia are very high, so side effects may be more common.
The thing is, it is not entirely clear how and even whether famotidine can help schizophrenia. Trials have been very small with conflicting results.
I was meaning to ask, how is your gambling problem now? Here is what the manufacturer of Abilify tells doctors in the UK...
Pathological gambling and other impulse control disorders
Patients can experience increased urges, particularly for gambling, and the inability to control these urges while taking aripiprazole. Other urges, reported, include: increased sexual urges, compulsive shopping, binge or compulsive eating, and other impulsive and compulsive behaviours. It is important for prescribers to ask patients or their caregivers specifically about the development of new or increased gambling urges, sexual urges, compulsive shopping, binge or compulsive eating, or other urges while being treated with aripiprazole. It should be noted that impulse-control symptoms can be associated with the underlying disorder; however, in some cases, urges were reported to have stopped when the dose was reduced or the medication was discontinued. Impulse control disorders may result in harm to the patient and others if not recognised. Consider dose reduction or stopping the medication if a patient develops such urges while taking aripiprazole.

Jeroen I think Ed is suggesting you talk to your doctor about the gambling . Have you discussed this with him. And that a dose reduction might be advisable. What do you think? Phillipa
