Sorry, can't answer as I haven't taken higher doses. But could I ask you or anyone if you have seen any increasing trend in benefits and/or side effects while moving up thru lower doses? I am seeing some results at 5mg (the only dose I've been on) but am considering increasing to see if I can get more. No side effects so far.
BTW I read on a drug ratings/reviews site that if you go up very slowly on Abilify (2.5 mg, 5mg, 7.5mg, 10mg), you will minimize side effects and perhaps maximize benefits. It seems plausible to me b/c this is true of Topamax, which I have tried.
