I cut my 10 mg dose every other day on the zyprexa and keep the half pice in a pill bottle. They are fine as long as you don't cut more than one at a time. I've asked the pharmacy and my doctor, have also heard of many other people on this board that do the same thing. One person talked to the manufacturer and was told not to cut more than a week at a time.
15 mg abilify was my initial dose. That was much too high and I had to stop after 2 weeks, as my sleep was getting worse and anxiety worsened + panic attacks. Also when I stoped the Abilify a few weeks after I had some recuring anxiety problems. Later on I tryed a low 3.75 mg dose out of curiosity and found it tolerable and some benificial. Cybercafe is now taking 3.75 abilify and have luck with it so are some others. I don't hear of many good results at the higher doses, like 15 mg.
The 2 can be mixed.
Taking wellbutrin with the zyprexa also helps with sleep and energy and eating, and depression and smoking.
Do you mean ECT? Electro Convolsive Therapy? That I have plenty of. EEG is a brain scan that only tells how your brain is. Its not a treatment, just a diagnostic technique.
