Dr Ratchet is putting me on Abilify and off from Lithuania. He is also increasing my remeron for anxiety. I PRAY this works.

I take Abilify, and have done for 15 years. It slowed me down at first, but I worked hard to counter the tiredness and all good now.
I hope it works out well for you.

Good luck with your new med. I’m on celexa and seroquel and recently had the celexa increased a bit which helped me a lot.

I was on Seroquel and Celexa. They worked well for me, buthad to come off because they were affecting my heart rhythm

Why does he have you on an Anti-Depressant for Anxiety? You said increase, have you been on Remeron this whole time?

I take remeron. 60 mg. knocks me out like a benzo. not happy with the weight gain, but overall, it works.

Remeron is often RX'd for sleep issues.

But one of the possible side effects of Remeron is irritability, anxiety and restlessness....so it might not be the best med for someone with Anxiety. Generally Anti-D's aren't famous for helping Anxiety.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
