I was on 30/day. That's the FDA approved max. I also take 1200/trileptal and 20/Prozac and up to 300/Neurontin.
I decided to keep taking everything else and just stop the Abilify. I was *so* tired, in this tranquilized sort of way. Its only been a few days, but I already feel better. More energetic. More clarity of thought. Etc. etc. etc.
How low can I go with Abilify, you think? My shrink, she's good and all, but she's Public Health. I swear to you, high dose tranquilizers is the name of the game at Public Health. They just don't play.
Considering that my diagnosis is somewhere between a bipolar version of Schizoaffective and straight up Bipolar I, mostly psychotic depression and considering how much progress I've made, how low do you think a maintenance dose of Abilify can go? I also do Orthomolecular which, if nothing else, reduces agitation and seem to keep EPS at bay.
Thanks!
