Shaking
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

Does anyone on here take Abilify or any other mood stabilizer? I take Abilify and my doctor prescribed me something to control the side effects of it. I shake a lot mostly in the hands and the two medications she's tried don't seem to be helping.

I took Abilify and on the 3rd year, i began lactating at about age 59. Stopped abilify and lactation ceased. I too had shaky hands and an overall body shaking, although mild.
Get another med, but dont add a med to counter side effects. Switch meds & i wish you well my friend.

I've been there, many times. It sucks. Makes ya wanna come off of everything, but makes ya scared you'll get worse. Like, what could get worse, right? I just isolated alot, as I didn't want people to see me when I had all those side effects, and judge me. It took a long time, but I took meds that finally worked for me. Thats all I can say.

I take Abilify. I don't shake, but I feel tired and fatigued every day. I don't know if it's my depression or the meds I take for depression.

@A MyDepressionTeam Member So no new mood stabilizer then? Did she try Propranol for the shaking? That works for me but it's shaking from taking Lithium. Wonder what the 1/2 life is for that medicine? How long before the shaking stops? Good luck. I get the shaking.
