Comment on yeet

Hard to remember off the top of my head, I’ll have to ask her when she wakes up. But she’s also on a tiny dose of the Abilify. Like she started on the first dose on the schedule to titrate up and that tiny amount was enough.

Thanks, I would really appreciate knowing her thoughts on it as someone else with OCD. As long as I can still function with Abilify, Buspar made me so tired that I started napping for three hours a day, on top of my regular sleep schedule. I’m not even a napper, lol.

Yeah I checked with her when she got up and the appetite boost was the only side effect she had with the Abilify. which was pretty much entirely countered by discovering that her OCD was masking ADHD and getting medicated for that.
But again that might be different for you since she’s on a super tiny dose of it.
I’m sure if Buspar doesn’t work for you then another one might. The combo for my wife seems to be the combination of the antidepressant, the anxiety medication, and the small amount of anti-psychotic Prozac and Buspar were just the ones she’d had success with previously cutting down the amount of time the OCD is occupying. But I mean there’s a reason psych meds are such an ordeal, everyone reacts differently to them.
