Suggest An Alternative Of Abilify To Manage Anxiety
I am diagnosed with bipolar disorder and is taking Latuda. I have severe anxiety even though i am on the lowest dosage. Is there another drug you can suggest apart from Abilify? Abilify makes me impulsive and i gamble also when I am on it. Right now I am anxious. thanks for your help
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Anxiety is body's natural defense mechanism and it cannot be cured completely because it is essential for the body to safeguard the body from impending problems. You should learn to manage the anxiety instead of taking medicines to manage it. I suggest counseling and psychotherapy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
