| Yes, I am aware that other meds are out there. I've discussed the problem with my psychiatrist... Abilify is, in me, used to treat something else (not anxiety). Mostly just curious what other people have experienced. |

| Has anyone ever had success with Abilify REDUCING anxiety? It is sometimes prescribed for ASD and OCD. It actually increases my anxiety, but it makes those features/symptoms worse, not better. |

| Yes, Multiple Complex Developmental Disorder sounds pretty bad, but I am doing pretty good considering they have meds that help a lot. |

| It's weird, isn't it? The way anxiety fluctuates between being motivating, and crippling. What meds are you on? I find the meds I tried (and I tried a lot) made me generally not care about anything, but I still had outbreaks of severe anxiety. CBT helped me to an extent, but I found it to be highly... |

| I realize the reason humans get anxiety. It's supposed to be helpful in a position of stress so that a person gets more energy. Sometimes it goes haywire. My anxiety levels are way down, compared to what they used to be, mostly as a result of medication. It still varies from time to time. Here's the... |

| Posted here because I am going to talk about some things which are very physically intimate. Is is possible to be just friends with someone you used to be romantic and physically intimate with? I wonder. I dated a girl in 2013 and we broke up July of that year. The relation had not lasted long, but ... |

Well, I do have a biology degree, and although I am not the best experimentalist, I think of it this way:

Coffee + soy milk = me feeling quite well |

Doesn't sound as though you were really close to a person if you just did not remember calling them. |
