will abilify make me [hypo]manic?

Posted by LlurpsieNoodle on June 24, 2007, at 16:40:04

I've decided that I'd like to switch from super-sedating geodon to activating abilify. Is there any evidence or experience with this med bringing about episodes of mania or hypomania.

(I'm just thinking about my 4 day trial of Wellbutrin)

I'm on
Geodon 180mg
Provigil 200
Lamictal 300mg
and the occasional tiny dose of klonopin.

dx is PTSD, with history of severe depression, anxiety. Family history of bipolar and schizoph.

The best meds for me have been provigil- helps with my inattention, klonopin- helps with hypervigilince and panic, and lamictal helped pull me out of a pretty bad depression/anxiety [my pdoc wants to call it mixed or rapid cycling] this spring.

I'm concerned that quitting the geodon and adding abilify might make me a bit hyper? But it's also a mood stabilizer.

sorry I go on so long. just thought I'd say too much than too little.
