My doctor thinks I should add on a low dose of the anti psychotic   ABILIFY. . This would be an add on to my paxil for depression.  It makes the anti depressant  work better when you have been on them a while.  Anybody know how this medication could affect mindfullness or concentration practice.. apparently  it's better than most atypical anti psychotic meds.it won't wipe you out.   I used to be on seroquel ZZZZZzzzzzz. Lol

I tried Ability once. I was on prozac and it wasn't working as well as before, so the psych gave me some Abilify to take "if I really needed it". I felt so bad at one point that I did try it. It basically numbed my emotions so that I couldn't feel anything much at all. It helped get me through a rough patch, but I also realized that I didn't want to be an emotional zombie. I think that was really the turning point when I realized that I needed to come off the meds and just feel whatever it was inside me that needed to be felt. So I would say definitely follow your doctor's advice, but also try to be cognizant of how the meds are affecting you and what might be going on underneath. I don't know if you're in the US, but in general I have found psychs in the US overeager to prescribe medications ... They definitely helped me to get through tough periods before I started meditating, but longer-term it was meditation that really resolved the underlying issues (depression, suicidal ideation, anxiety etc.)

Thanks. I will try to be mindfull while taking the medication. I will see  how my sits go also and get back to you
