• Why are you taking Abilify (Aripiprazole)? Do you have a history of psychosis or schizophrenia? Because, Abilify is antipsychotic.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

• You are having prominent depressive symptoms. It is major depressive disorder. You need to take antidepressants.

• I suggest tablet Fluoxetine 20 mg in the morning for 6 days, then continue with 40 mg in the morning. You will start getting its effect after at least a week.

• I also suggest Clonazepam 0.25 mg one tablet at night for 10 days. Continue Abilify in the same dose and half tablet of Akineton (Biperiden). Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and take the medicine with consent.

• If you still have some symptoms, then elaborate your previous psychotic episodes as well as current one.

For further doubts consult a psychiatrist online --> https://www.icliniq.com/ask-a-doctor-online/psychiatrist

Same symptoms doesn’t mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
