mrktgpl asked:
My husband takes Abilify (25mg) for bipolar disorder, along with buspirone. He has a head/chest cold and started taking Sudafed PE on Saturday. He quickly started showing signs of mania and has barely slept the past two nights. Not looking for a medical opinion; recognize we need to call his doc (it’s Christmas Eve!), etc. Just looking for anecdotal experience: anyone else had problems with Abilify and cold meds? Any suggestions?

Call an all night pharmacy.
Call at the ER and ask?
“Ask a nurse”? type phone lines
Poison Control?
Consider skipping the Abilify a few days while the cold symptoms are so very intense.??
