I went into my doctor today for med management visit for panic/social anxiety disorder. Prior this visit I was only taking Klonapin for my anxiety. This was first visit with a new doc he had asked what all meds (anti-depress) ones I had taken in past. He said I should take Abilify and gave me script. 5mg 1st week then bump up to 15mg 2nd week. After reading on line this med is used to treat schizophrenia and bi-polar disorder. Has anyone here taken this med for anxiety/panic attacks with success?

I also said I had been having difficulties sleeping and he had prescribed Seroquel. Has anyone else been giving this to help them sleep. And again reading online this med is also for schizophrenia and bi-polar disorder. Don't know how this will help with my anxiety.

Doesn't make since to give me meds that don't even have anything to do with my disorder(s)

On paper he gave me to give secreatry to make follow up appointment there was a diagnois code of 296.5 - which i looked up and was: Bipolar I Disorder, Most Recent Episode Depressed, Unspecified

I met this person one time and don't understand how they can diagnois me with that. I have been treated for anxiety and depression for past 10 yrs. The anxiety/depression was reason I was granted Social Sec Disab not Bi-Polar.
