Hi Mr Ed,
Yay, you understand me! I'm on 10mg Abilify still at the moment.
I take procyclidine in 5mg tablets, and I can take up to 3 a day it says. I'm sure you can take more, but I never take more than that. It helps for a good four hours with one tablet, so 3 x 4 = 12, that's most of the day. I am in bliss right now! I just wish it would last! I told my social-worker Helen about it and she took it seriously (although I agree, it is waaay underestimated as a side effect). At least I know that if it gets BAAAD I can just stop taking it. In hospital it was hell, but I thought this was the only treatment available so I felt that I HAD to stick with it and suffer.
Anyway, we shall see. I shan't let myself get absolutely insane on it! If it gets too bad, I'll ring the doc.
Have you ever taken procyclidine or any of the drugs like that?
xxxxxx
