Hi Dan, I really appreciate that you take the time to create these videos. Even your brief overview videos go more in-depth than most videos about these medications. I like understanding the actual mechanisms of all of the different medications instead of how most people just describe SSRIs as all doing the same exact thing. Would you potentially be open to making a video about Lyrica in the future? Looking for a new option for my anxiety and I would like to know more about it!
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words, this video took a very long time to make, so I am glad it is helpful. I will consider making Lyrica video. It is first line in a lot of anxiety guidelines, but many providers overlook it because it is not FDA approved for that indication. Thanks again for the comment.
Thanks for the detailed and professional review as always However can u do a video on sleeping pills? Antipsychotics and amitriptyline dont work. Remeron is the only working one for me but the daytime insomnolence is killing. Tried dayvigo but got incubus sleep paralysis. Really desperate for something that works
Yes, I can try. I have a few others in the works first. Have you ever tried a z-drug like ambien? Or non-pharm options like CBT-I? Or had a sleep study.
I’m just re-starting my meds. I was taking 100mg of seroquel last year and it helps with my violent outburst but I stop taking it after my last bottle had ran out I stopped seeing my doctor because I couldn’t function at all. I’m sleeping most of the time and couldn’t go to work. Today I was put on in abilify at a low dosage 5mg with a different psychiatrist Today is my first day.
I was diagnosed with bipolar, PTSD, major anxiety and major depression 😞 I'm tired of trying meds 4 different meds in 4 months 😪 I don't have hallucinations and I don't know if I'm even bipolar. I know I have had alot of life-long trauma PTSD. I'm still having trouble coming of prestiq after almost 3 months. Abilify reviews on WebMD killed a 19 year old boy in his sleep after 2 weeks of taking it. His aunt wrote that review. Omg 😲 I meant Complex PTSD
I heard it Leads to sexual side effects, like compulsive intercourse. Is it also affecting the sexual feelings eg orgasms intensity, and sensitivity of genitals etc?! Or is it just the ‚desire‘ that abilify causes?
My doctor just prescribed ability to me today. I’m on Xanax and Prozac. I have major depression but still function but I still have a huge lost in interest in many things and don’t want to do a lot. I have suicidal thoughts and or thoughts of giving up. I also have severe anxiety, ptsd and DPDR. I’m scared to take the abilify bc it’s a antipsychotic and I’m scared it’ll give me a psychotic break and or hallucinations. Idk what to do. One week my depressions okay and the next I’m debating life. Idk if this will help or hurt me. Can anyone give me advice please.
Hi Hannah, I am sorry to hear that you are not doing well. Abilify is FDA approved as an adjunct for major depressive disorder and I have never seen Abilify cause a psychotic break in my career.
Hello, I have a question. Can you take aripiprazole and another antipsychotic, one in the morning and one in the evening, or is such a regimen dangerous and not recommended? thank you
45:37 us people on the spectrum are NOT HAVING TANTRUMS. they're *involuntarily meltdowns*. Bad ass vid. Thx. 10mg and I'm actually feeling human again.
My brothers recently been prescribed this medication as he has what appears to be schizophrenia. He's on 5mg currently and it looks like he may need a higher dosage, it's only been a few weeks but it seems to have slightly taken the edge of his episodes. I assume the doctor always starts on a small dosage as a potential to ween the patient onto the medication, as most studies I've read about start at 10mg as a minimum for schizophrenia.
My relative who lives w me Took injection 400 ml Shes 69 yrs Took her for a loop. Gambling, sex, drugs ,bad boys, no sleep for over week. Wild behavior Before the injection she was very religious. Follow bible. The bad behavior lasted 2 plus months She got back on oral 15 ml. Seems better now 2 mos later. Tho still very scary as still depressed an not functional. 😮. Tho i see some improvement
I'm switching to abilify because I'm on invega sustenna and have erectile dysfunction from it. The nurse said I shouldn't have any sexual side effects with abilify but I've read other people's reviews saying they have ED from it. I'm confused and scared, please answer, will my ED go away with abilify?
I'm switching from zyprexa to abilify, I started my taper from 5mg zyprexa to 2.5 with 5mg of abilify. Is there anything I should worry about? I was on zyprexa for almost 3 years and gained 200 pounds and became prediabetic
hi just got prescribed 15 mg abilify if i were to take kratom with abilify for my chronic back and neck pain would that be okay and how much should i use?
I tried not to take kratom while I was on this. You'd probably be fine with a small amount of kratom, but your essentially taking an upper and a downer at the same time as abilify is stimulating. Also kratom destroyed my teath and I don't suggest you take large amounts for years. It's not good for bone health
I was on abilify for about 3 and a half years and my sex drive has really gone up 🆙 and I sometimes act inappropriately and scare females. I won’t get into details about what I do since it isn’t necessary but I’m working very hard in controlling my emotions and staying out of trouble 👿.
I’m on Abilify 2mg it works on my bipolar, but not my depression. They add me on bupropion 75mg. Which immmore happy on that medication, because I take it in the morning but I’m taking the Abilify at night I’m scared.
Why fluxoetine makes mh fatigue to go away but mady me anxious. So i quit it .if i take paroxeitne helps my anxiety but doesnt help fatigue .so what cluld be done
My psychiatrist recently suggested Abilify to have in addition to Zoloft. (I don’t feel as though Zoloft does anything for me, probably because I’ve been on it for 20 years now.) I was about to take the Abilify , but first read reviews online. ALOT of horrifying reviews. I immediately changed my mind after. I do not want to take this. It sounds like a nightmare. Instead I am just going to increase the dosage of my Zoloft .
I have seizures and my doctor prescribed this so I am super nervous to take this. I’m also doing the keto diet which is noted to reduce seizures and this medication makes your blood sugar go up, therefore nullifying the effects of the diet and I’m just like not about it right now. I hope I can find something that works for me.
@@DanGreerHi sir I have taken 10 mg of Aripiprazole on the first day in the evening and It feels like I am sweating more and cold like symptoms in my nose. It is partially blocked. Do people have any of these symptoms?
Am so worried about starting this medication. I dont want weight gain. I have to do something for my bipolar depression. If gain weight I be more depressed if that's possible. I starting 5ml then going to 10 . Anyone have any reviews on this .
There is no direct equivalent dose, but 10 mg of olanzapine is half the max dose and the max dose of abilify for some conditions is 30 mg so, half would 15 mg
Hi, doctor. My son is 17 years old. His behavior changed. We showed him to the psychiatrists. They said schizophrenia. They gave us medicine without improvement, without result, he sleeps and gains weight only. Is the diagnosis wrong and wrong?? Thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
They don't really know. It's all guesswork. A shot in the dark. A "give him this, give him that, let's see what happens." There are no physical tests. And all these drugs damage the body.
You need to take your Son to a different psychiatrist because many psychiatrists often make a misdiagnosis. I see your comment is from 1 year ago - so I hope your Son is doing better.
Why do you have your record speakers so close together and also close to you and to the wall? You won't experience the ideal listening experience with this setup
Abilify is FDA approved in combination with medications like Lexapro for the treatment of depression and some evidence suggests Abilify is helpful in PTSD
Dis drug helped me alot with paranoia and panic it works . a dog barked at me the other day usually i get right jumpy towards the dog but this drug made me just look at the dog with no reaction what so ever an also it helps with panic in situations that are considered normal daily activities, i wasent skitzo but i was paranoid for no reason which is why i am happy about this drug and its not additictive too so win win for me
I think every psychiatrist should try some of the drugs they take so they know how crappy it makes a person feel and how hard it is to get off of them. They wouldn't because they know of all the side effects
People think im crae crae bcuz i know that earth is flat.... I was prescribed this but i also don't want to harm my precious penile gland❤ Fix the imbalance? i think not
@@dagrun3821mine did not at all and neither did they with invega. What has helped me has been 3 things I do every time ii start to hear something.... 1:i immediately focus on my surrounding and something I can actually hear in reality. 2: I stop listening to voices. 3: I remember that these voices are internal and are being generated by my own subconscious. Your subconscious has the power to create vivid dreams, it also has the power to generate multiple voices at once. I've been doing this for 2 weeks and have had more success than on high doses of multiple medications. Do not endadge with voices, do not listen, do not respond. Try to focus on something in reality. Headphones help. I literally believe hearing voices in A bad habit at this point
Dont take this if u have autism autism is unique why we should adjust 2 a world that's not build for us BY TAKING ABYLIFY?. thats making me so sad 😢 & another thing READ THE PAMFLET BEFORE YOU SWALLOW enough said ...
No psychiatrist would take this because they know of the side effects, how hard it is to come off of them, and of the potential to permanently alter their brain chemistry. Your second sentence may have been unnecessary, but so is this guys comment making a joke of what you've said. Psychiatrists are not therapeutic "doctors" and they only help some people sometimes and usually temporarily. Legal drug dealers essentially

How did it go?
This drug has helped me so much. I'm on 30mg.
So happy to hear that it is helping you.
No side effects?

Yes, I agree that 10mg is usually the starting dose for schizophrenia unless he is young or sensitive to side effects.
@@DanGreer Thank you so much for your reply. I'm so hoping he gets some relief from these meds despite all the scary stuff I'm reading online.

They all harm the same way, it all depends on who?
I'm against antipsychotics unless neccessry at this point, but I had way less ED issues on abilify. No Ed issues actually. I'm getting off invega now
Is this a good to combine with Lisinopril for depression. My Dr. mentioned it but I'm not sure if I should.
Lisinopril is a blood pressure medication. Aripiprazole can lower blood pressure as well, but the medications are commonly used together.
@@DanGreer Does this medicine helps in Tourette tics ?
@@jatinsharma5024 Yes, that is discussed in the video and on my website link in the description

Anxiety sometimes gets worse with SSRIs before it gets better, staying on the medication may help to decrease anxiety.

ok then that doesn't seem like a good medication for you, maybe talk to your prescriber about trying something else@@nirmanshrestha2038

That is a small dose and would have a very low chance to cause any weight gain or diabetes

Abilify should be banned. I tried it as a adjunct for MDD and it was a trip through hell: suicidal ideation, hopelessness and more. It was terrifying.
I'm sorry it such a bad reaction to it. What was your dose? It's been a lifesaver for me for the last several years
Same 5mg
