Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I'm not expecting much, if anything from Abilify. If I can even take the psychotic dose, it might take months for me to get there. I am exquisitely sensetive to meds. I think it's some sort of toxic encephalopathy. I've seen 3 docs and none of them can explain why I react to a broad spectrum of psych meds so badly. I haven't been able to even hit a theraputic dose on anything. Because of my past with SSRI's, they are out. I can't tolerate any one of them. I also can't take SNRI's, TCA's, Lithium, anticonvulsants, Wellbutrin, etc. Kinda sucks. Havent's tried MAOI's yet due to concerns of a possible underlying neuropathy.
I can only take 2 mg of Perphenazine (another antipsychotic) which doesn't do much but seems to help a little.
