> Why take 10mg at once prn, and not 2.5mg every day or 2?
I usually take abilify (10mg), but forgot to refill my prescription. I was getting strange visual effects, because I hadn't taken abilify for 3 days. (lazy noodle!) I have the Rx for times when I am dissociating like crazy and/or having intense flashbacks.

Okay, that makes sense. It's been 12 hours and I still feel like I've been shot with a tranquilizer dart.> Also why zydis? More expensive? The normal version would not kick so strongly and would be spread out more.
I guess pdoc wanted the kick. It's probably lots more expensive, but insurance pays for it. (yay). tastes icky though. I kind of like the kick, because it forces me to go to bed. much like when I was seroquelled every night.
thanks for your input. I guess I'll have to ride this one out for the rest of the day. I don't have much planned, or else I'd be screwed! I am dizzy and loopy!
