> The [Abilify] anxiety is most likely to be temporary. Perhaps you can try taking Ativan during the first 1-2 weeks.
That would be good news. If I had thought so earlier, I might've stuck it out a while longer, especially with Ativan.
I also wonder if buprenorphine may be contributing to my intermittent anxiety problems, which I never had before taking bupe. Perhaps another holiday from bupe is in order to test that.
> My first reaction is to say that the Paxil would not prevent the anxiety produced by the Abilify.
That's too bad.
> You might want to establish the Paxil first.
Paxil for a month or so at therapeutic dose first is my plan; then adding back the Abilify. I guess I'll also have to remember that Paxil may increase anxiety at first.
Thanks, Scott. I appreciate your brain on this.
