[QUOTE="ryzgal, post: 369786"] Thanks again for all the replies Re: Abilify. When he was first put on it, it was like heaven. Within a few weeks he was noticably calmer, more together, less irritable, not as easily set off if you know what I mean. However, over time it seems to have lost its magic. The psychiatrist may increase the Abilify at his next appointment while also taking him off Celexa and putting him on Zoloft. I don't know that I am thrilled with the Zoloft idea, especially since I feel he has bipolar, and have heard this can trigger mania. But it seems once you start down the antidepressant road, more and more medications get added to the mix! Re: Celexa. The celexa was rx for his Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and some of his anxiety (no one really addresses the anger, irritabliity, rage, outbursts, irrationality, delusions etc except to say it may be just a biproduct of his Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and anxiety *sigh*). It did seem to calm down his Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) for awhile. His dose was actually decreased for a long time, but his symptoms right now are barely managable. So it was doubled, and that's when we saw an increase in his other symptoms, and his Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) seems worse. Not sure what happened. I am truly frustrated with medicines. :angry: and doctors. But keeping hopes high and fingers crossed for this next appointment. Should I have started a new thread?? LOL I will get this down, don't worry! Hugs Stac [/QUOTE]
