Karen, the "stoned robot feeling" is fine for a day or two but after that I have to snap out of it as I'm in a profession that requires strong cognitive functioning. I think you know what I mean.

Yes, I'm on a small dose (2.5 - 3.75 mg/daily). My doc calls it micro-dosing. I think it may be psychological; I view medicines as poisons and only want to take the minimum dosage necessary to solve the condition.

I really like Abilify's activating properties. The problem is that sometimes I think it's not controlling the mania well enough. If I don't take lithium with it I still get high, though it's a calm high.

Having BPII is a blessing and a curse.
