> Maybe I'll just stick with the Abilify. How low can you go for taking the edge of psychotic mood disorders? Like I said, my manic episode(s) had a lot of psychosocial stressors involved, so I don't know that it'd be necessary to take a full anti-manic dose. I read somewhere that 7.5mgs Abilify can do the trick, but I haven't seen that number anywhere else.

What would your ideal treatment regime look like?
Which drugs would you include? Which drugs would you exclude? Why?
I hope you can find a treatment that works well while sparing you from side effects. I guess that's what we are all looking for - next to spontaneous remission, of course.
