hey med_empowered--
i don't know why i'm being rx'd the max dose. this has never happened to me before; with antidepressants and antipsychotics, especially, i've always been on the very low end of the dosing spectrum. when i was on zyprexa, 2.5mg was too much, on risperdal, i took 0.5 to 1mg, and also low doses of seroquel and haldol and the others.
my dr. admitted that i don't have acute mania, so except for the fact that i'm still having some hallucinations, i don't know why i've been increased to the max.
besides 30mg of abilify, i'm also on a mood stabilizer. it used to be 300mg of topamax, and now, because i asked to switch back to lithium, which is my gold standard, i'm on 600mg of lithium. i don't know if that's a therapeutic dose or not. i used to take up to 1800mg, but i've also been very toxic a lot and once needed dialysis because i had a lithium level of 4.2+. i'm also on klonopin 2mg at night and 50-100mg of trazodone and 15mg twice a day of dexedrine. then, i'm on a bunch of meds for medical conditions. i'm not sure what the abilify does for me, if anything.
did abilify do anything for you?
thanks, cb
