I think you do what you have to do. I'm back up to 30mgs Abilify daily. Yes, 30mgs--3x the 10mgs minimum dose for antipsychotic action and 2x the target dose of 15mgs. I function better and I take loads of antioxidants to reduce the risk of the various tardive syndromes.

I tried 15 Abilify, but found myself needing higher doses periodically to keep my cool (my thoughts would get fuzzy, I'd get agitated, mild psychosis--I'm officially Bipolar I, but I have a lot of schizophrenic symptoms).

Anyway, 30 works for me, and maybe 10 Saphris will be the ticket for you. Sometimes its better to just take a higher dose of a very effective medication and do what you can to watch out for and prevent side effects than it is to take a cocktail and/or suffer. So, I say: 10 for the time being.
