In praise of Abilify. And some Qs

Posted by Christ_empowered on July 27, 2010, at 20:15:50

I saw my new pdoc today. Very nice person. Said to keep taking 30mgs/day Abilify. He said that 15mgs/day, my old dose, usually wasn't enough. Is this sound advice?
I do like Abilify. My thoughts are more clear, I'm more motivated and focused, and the paranoia and mood problems are gone, except for occasional fits of melancholy. No side effects, and I'm taking a whole lots of vitamins to prevent TD (check out http://www.orthomed.org/resources/papers/hawkshz.htm).
So should I just stick with the 30mgs/day and be happy I'm responding well with no side-effects? Or do you think I should push for a reduction to 15mgs/day after 6-8 weeks?
Thanks.
