100mgs/Thorazine=2mgs/Haldol. Back in the day, Thorazine was given in excessively high (up to 1200mgs, routinely) doses. These days, 100-400mgs/Thorazine or its equivalent seems more common.
I don't want to get psychotic again, either, but 30mgs/abilify is a bit much when I'm not experiencing significant agitation, mania, or florid psychosis. Plus, the available data I've read indicates that 15 works as well as 10 and that 15mgs=30mgs in terms of effectiveness. I think the higher doses sedate people more and result in more of a tranquilzing/neuroleptic effect.
