Thank you Bill. Your humbe non-proffesional opinion is valued; I had actually been thinking of re-trying Abilify, but when I mentioned it to my pdoc, he didn't really answer. What has been your experience, if you don't mind me asking?

> I can understand your concern. My humble non-professional opinion is that you re-try abilify (with ativan as needed) and see if adding something like neurontin can help with the pain and activation.

After much trepidation and tremendous support from this board I tried low dose abilify 2.5 mg, along with ativan as needed. It helped greatly but I had to discontinue after 5 weeks due to side effect of painful myalgia and increase activation. My pdoc now suggests I WORK UP TO 20 mg Geodon with low dose of requip. I'VE HEARD BOTH THESE DRUGS CAN CAUSE HEART ARRYTHMIAS....I've had isolated PVCs and they were very bad with Depakote. I just think there must be a be a better drug combo out there with far less side effects; because my condition isn't bad enuff to warrant such serious side effects in my opinion. Any suggestions??
