Diagnosed with adhd, anxiety,sensory iss
Male 25 years India weight 94kg height 5ft 8inches. I am currently taking atomoxetine 40mg twice daily, prozac 40mg morning, abilify 2ng night, ritalin when needed and depakote xl 250 at night.
Depakote was added 2 days ago. I have tiredness all day and have urge to sleep even when i take ritalin. I dont feel active. Sometimes my mood is good and i am confident othertimes i feel low. Is abilify affecting my sleep ?i also have mild head tremor from abilify.
Should i stop abilify and ask doc to add bupropion in morning for energy and fatigue. And also to improve wakefullness. Doc add depakote for irritability and misophonia.

Medication can have some side effects for 7-10 days after initiation. If side effects persist beyond 7 days, consult with treating psychitriast.

Hi there. Your mentioned diagnosis of ADHD,Anxiety and sensory issues doesn't as such indicate the need for aripiprazole( ability) ,unless there is a other set of symptom that is not mentioned in here or at times, it can be prescribed as a augmentation agent to your antidepressants in case of depression which is not your mentioned diagnosis. I would require a more detailed history to comment on whether there is a need to continue abilify in your case.
Abilify and Depakote both can cause sedation.
Your mild head tremor, if, started only after being on Ability for few months, that's need evaluation properly as it can be a side effect which again to confirm I need more information.
Since you are on prozac, I don't see the need to add bupropion
Next Steps
better to withhold abilify, depakote and get a second consultation
