I run out of Abilify Monday... And was never told to stop it, or taper off.

I tried Seroquel in the past and had a bout of syncope at 150mg, but had been drinking VERY heavily at the time. Pdoc knows this. Thinks it's worth a re-trial. I think I'm going to try 150mg before the 200mg.
I do have a lifeline because of the MS. That makes me feel a little safer.

Don't know if the combo of such a high dose of Abilify and doubling doses of Seroquol daily is going to be too much for me at least in the am.

Jeez, I wish I was together enough to think of all this before the weekend.

She'll be in the office Tuesday, and I can call in Monday if I need to. I won't have to decide 150 vs. 200mg until Sunday night.

Ugh. This has been going on for a month and a half. Enough already!

Hi Kay. I was put on Abilify about 6,or 7 years ago,and I had weird side affects.
They took me off of it,and put me on Seroquel. The doctor in charge of my case told the Nurse Practitioner to give me a high dose before bed. I've been taking it for about 6,or seven years.

My thoughts the next day are slower to produce anxiety,though I have anxiety most all of the time. It also helps me to sleep,though it's not a sleeping medication as far as I know. BF
