Hi, Alanjacobs.

I'm not an expert, by any means, but personally I'm concerned about the experiment your pdoc is running.

I completely understand your (and his) desire to stay with the abilify-- and maybe the risk is worth it.

My concern would be that if you suppress the symptoms, they might not manifest themselves even as the condition actually persisted. Then it might become harder to treat, when and if it did reemerge.

My suggestion is that you get a second opinion, in this. There must be pdocs who specialize in TD and someone like that, who has an expertise in that particular area, would be able to say if it's safe (or worth the risk) to continue. S/he might also be able to give you much better guidance on what to look for, and how to monitor the possible underlying condition.

I would strongly recommend that, under the circumstances, given the difficulty of treating TD, if you're considering continuing abilify.

Honore
