Why should you feel stupid? You have legitimate concerns. Give it time though you never no how you'll feel once the med builds up in your blood. Maybe your anxiety will be lessened and maybe not. But you should not feel stupid. Hell that is what their career is in, they should be freaking experts. Always share you feelings to your pdoc regardless.

pdoc said celexa and abilify don't interact within the drug handbook so I can take that. So I promised her I would take the celexa since I fought so hard to get it.

is it the abilify that is giving you the anxiety? maybe try something different like seroquel.. i have heard of ppl in the anxiety group taking seroquel for anxiety too. but i take abilify and i also take ativan .. nobody ever told me i couldn't

i took klonopin with abilify :[

So you decided against the prozac and vesteril option?

Yes I did decide against the prozac and vistaril option.....pdoc found the interaction between abilify and prozac and imediately discontinued.....I looked up both ativan and klonopin side effects with drugs.com and they said there were interactions if taken with abilify....so I dunno.

I was having anxiety before the abilify?

I take Abilify and klonopin and xanax with no interactions. It should be ok.

I'm gonna give celexa and abilify a try......I dunno what to do about the vistaril though since there's supposedly an interaction with that as well.

What did each of the interactions say? Sometimes they are minor interactions that you don't need to worry about. Sometimes they are major interactions that you should be concerned about. I am on medications that interact according to the drug checker, but I am OK...my med combination has been recommended by a lot of people and I don't have any side effects. A lot of times, the interaction will give you a warning about something that may happen if you take the drugs together, but that doesn't always occur. A lot of the time you just have to try meds together and see if they are OK for you. And you are not stupid! Meds are hard to get right and it can be very frustrating. Good luck!

I had trazadone for sleeping...an old perscription I tried for sleep and depression I had kept for no real reason. But I couldn't sleep and was desperate. I READ ONLINE that my 50mg trazadone was WAY under the max of 300mg/day outpatient to 600mg/day inpatient. So I cranked up 300mg and went to bed. Then I started thinking 'Was the 300MG OVER A DAY, not at one time?' 'Did I just OD?' I finally decided if I died, I died. I didn't(duh).

The documents about meds, online for example, give you all sorts of info that taken in context of medical training, make sense. When we educate ourselves on our meds I consider that proactive and excellent. But sometimes we can get a little excited and mess the proper context and worry over what is really nothing.

Soooo, do you reading but talk to your pdoc. Don't feel stupid about your pdoc being wrong. Otherwiswe I am the dumbest fool on the planet if you saw how many times I disagreed with my pdoc (and was wrong in the long run) :) Also pdocs differ on what works and does not....

i was on ablifi 9 days had to come off it cuz im bipolar..i was taking my regular dose of xanax..if you been on any benzo then you just cant stop taking them..good luck too you..

My might want to ask your pharmasist(or doctor if you trust them) about adding all natural Valerian Root. I'm sure you've heard me say that.

abilify caused my sister Rhonda to have such horrible tremors that she was incorrectly dxed with Parkinson's disease. Almost as soon as she was convinced to stop taking the abilify the tremors started to subside but she will have some tremors and some vision loss PERMANENTLY for the rest of her life from this drug that the FDA has done very little actual research on. Please ...to everyone taking it ...watch for side effects and be careful
