In reply to Abilify causing mania, posted by ruth0313 on June 20, 2007, at 6:29:15
> I have been diagnosed with BP II. I have been on a low dose of Abilify for a week and feel WONDERFUL. My pdoc says that I feel too good. I am very productive and happy. When we tried to increase the dose I was extremely activated, had OCD, and had insomnia. I went back down on the dose and would like to stay at this dose, but my pdoc says that I'm in hypomania and this is not a good for me. I say I feel better than I have in years! Depression, anxiety, and socially phobia is totally gone and I want to remain on this dose (5mg)! Any comments?
It might be too early to decide if you are taking too much until you give it more than a week until your body adjusts to it. Are you taking an AD too? If so, you might need to drop the dose back since you started the abilify.Polarbear
