My highest dose was 15mg. I also took a lot of lower doses. The lower doses were much easyer to tolerate. The first time I took 15mg for 2 weeks and stoped because of anxiety and masive panic attacks. IE it didn't replace the zyprexa. The last time I took abilify for about 6 months at doses between 2mg and 15mg. 3 months in I decided it was not working, my doc decided it was because I was not taking enough, he said try 30mg. I was in disbelive, and said no! So I took 15 for anouther 3 months and went psychotic. Its taken me a long time to recover from it, more than a year now. This time I'm trying perphenazine, with much beter results. Still need the zyprexa. So its looking like its going to be a mix of the the two. The interesting thing I notice when I quit abilify is that it takes 3 times the time I was on abilify, for the zyprexa to start working again.
