I have been taking abilify, for a couple of years now, along with celexa. my normal doses are 10 mg celexa and 15 mg abilify. I have been diagnosed bipolar and schizoaffective.
I recently had a stay in the hospital after my Pdoc suggested we try 7.5 mg of abilify. In the hospital however, they raised my dose of abilify to 30 mg. Ever since then I have had diareaha, and read somewhere that this can be a symptom of strotonin syndrome. I called my Pdoc, and he suggested I half the celexa dose, down to 10 mg. I've been doing this for a week now, and no relief in symptoms. My Pdoc is slightly worthless, I feel like I'm mostly on my own here. I'm thinking of going back to 15 mg of abilify, because I seemed to tolerate that dose well.
Does anyone have any insight here? Please help.
