> i take a full dose of abilify. my psych is talking about a switch to vraylar. the difference seems to be that vraylar doesn't stimulate the D2 receptors as much, so it has more anti-manic properties, plus the D3 action -might- mean it helps speed up cognitive processes, if that's a problem for you.

Thanks for this response, is great. I think I need to get the mood stabiliser up and running first, then we'll see where we go from there.

If I'm not mistaken I think some APs have different effects at different doses. I was prescribed 300mg seroquel and it made me feel like crap, but I like it at 75mg as asleep aid.
