I kind of miss the Abilify. It didn't bother my bladder.
Now, I can take Cymbalta, which seems to calm down my bladder - almost giving me shy bladder (a little hesitency and retention).
I won't go back to the traditional SSRIs due to bladder sensitivity.
I can take Wellbutrin, but it makes me a little edgy and bitchy.
Is there a way I can take Abilify along with Cymbalta or Wellbutrin? The only thing I hated about Abilify was that it was making me hungry, hungry, hungry. I gained weight on it. But I slept great, it imporved my sex life and I didn't have bladder problems.
The Abilify alone just didn't take care of everything.
What do you add on to Abilify?

I took cymbalta nad abilify together for some time and had no bad effects from the comination. However I seem to tolerate abilify much better than a lot of people. Just fyi...

Trish, do you not have a doctor to help design and monitor a treatment? It would seem that a good pharmacologist might be able to figure out the best and safest answer, especially since some of these are pretty powerful psychoactive substances.

What bladder symptoms do you have? Do you have a diagnosis? Did you try any directed treatment for your bladder (e.g. peripherally-acting drugs)?
Did you see a specialist in this field?J
