I think it would be great if you can stay off Abilify for the long term. Do you think getting some protection from something, maybe lithium or depakote, might be a good idea in the future? How about what I believe to be fairly uninvasive SSRIs?

Do you have any plans to see a therapist that does more and is more qualified than the one you have been seeing?

Are you going to use any supplements(wait, I remember you already do)? How about lithium orotate? It's pretty much the same as taking lithium carbonate-you'd just be as well off taking a low dose of the carbonate, say 300 to 600 mg. There is much potential for neuroprotection with lithium. If you are worried about your brain being fried, you can protect it from getting fried any more as a result of further insults from major episodes by taking something like lithium or depakote as a preventative measure and neuroprotector.

I realize you are saying your brain has been fried from the Abilify, but your brain has also likely been fried some by the major episodes you have endured.

Do you have plans to get into a regular exercise routine? I believe fairly intense exercise followed by a thorough meditative stretch is the way to go. You can find a way to relax and breath properly while exerting quite a bit of energy, in order to fully benefit from exercise. I find it necessary to breath through the nose some in order to get the brain health/"feel good" benefits. Some make the mistake of breathing through their mouth too much. I often start with my mouth and transition through my nose in one breath. Sometimes, I end up doing mostly nose breathing during my 15 to 20 min moderate to intense cardiovascular routine.

Hope everything works out for you CE..
