Does anyone here get the abilify injection or have you in the past? Any difference between the injection and pill form if you have tried both?
I am thinking of asking my Pdoc about it. I have been on abilify tablets for 10 months and had no manic episodes which was great. I recently went off my meds and I am trying to figure out a way to get back on. Taking pills is just difficult for me to be compliant with so I thought perhaps this would be a way to get back on the med I have found to be most helpful. I dont mind needles in fact Im a little weird I kind of like them lol. I was thinking abilify injection and welbutrin pills when depression starts to kick in. Of course I have to get Pdoc on board which might not work but wanted to see if anyone has experience with it first. __________________ Bipolar 1 Borderline Personality Disorder Alcohol Use Disorder Meds: Depakote Welbutrin Abilify I didn't want any flowers, I only wanted to lie with my hands turned up and be utterly empty.

I was on the injection and loved it. I have/had break through symptoms but it's been the most tolerated AP I've been on. I'm on 20 mg desolvable now. Can you keep a daily journal to keep track of meds, symptoms, side effects.

Thanks MM, glad to hear it was a good option for you. I dont know what my Pdoc will think because I dont want to take the depakote anymore and he has always pushed that one most.
I have a mood tracker on my phone but I am bad about using it. I am just not a very consistent person in many ways. __________________ Bipolar 1 Borderline Personality Disorder Alcohol Use Disorder Meds: Depakote Welbutrin Abilify I didn't want any flowers, I only wanted to lie with my hands turned up and be utterly empty.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
