Hello everyone! I know I haven't posted in a long time.
I've been having headache problems, and finally started going to a headache
specialist in another city. He's tried several things but no success yet.
He put me on Abilify several months back. For the past months I've had
problems with tension and depression, and the tension finally reached
episodes of near panic-level.
My headache doctor told me to see my psychiatrist, which I did, and my
psych said that the anxiety was a side-effect of the Abilify. Abilify can
also cause something called akasthenia, which is like restless-leg
syndrome, which I could have. I had already stopped taking Abilify, so
these symptoms will fade away.
My psych is changing my anti-depressant from Cymbalta, which doesn't seem
to be doing me much good any more, to Anafranil. He's keeping me on 1500
mg/day of Depakote.
I'm sure I'll fell better with time, but right now I feel pretty miserable.
My headache doctor wants to see a psychologist who helps with chronic pain
problems, so I'm looking for one.
How is everyone doing? Well, I hope.
Dennis
