ya, i had a bad reaction to abilify. i got very violent... almost lost my T because i had an 'episode' in her office... course i showed up drunk as well. ya, wasn't good. but i do remember that i was up to 10mg of abilify and at some point i remember someone stating the benefits of low dose vs. higher dose of abilify for folks, but i dont remember what the low dose was better for and what the high dose was better for... do you remember?
maybe i was on too high, too low dose? i would certainly be willing to try it again.
i have not been on Focalin, but i have been on Ritalin and ritalin LA, neither one helped well. and i crashed from it. Adderall is WAY better for me. and uually is enough.
although now i've seemed to just stop taking it in the afternon. i'm Sure its making my depression worse (as i take it more for my depression than ADHD). But my pdoc insisted i at least try it (again). before our appt next friday.
yes my appt Finally got bumped... it was probably cuz i broke down while on the phgone withe the nurse.. talking about, well you now. offing myself.
Dopamine agonist (adderall) seems to help me most. thats' why i WISH they would allow amisulpride... it read that it was a DA.
are there any other meds that are DA that i could try??Thanks much for your input Scott!
