Hi Med,
> hey. I was thinking 30mgs 2x weekly b/c Abilify has such a crazy long half life that I think some of the problem, in addition to the dose being too high, is that its accumulating in my system.
Accumulation isn't really an issue, it's the dose that (might be) a problem. It would be better to take 10mg per day than 30mg twice a week - it would give more stable blood levels.
>I only have 30mgs tablets, so I can take: 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, or 1 tablet. I'm thinking about re-starting @ 15mgs/day, which used to be the Abilify starting and maintenance dose.
I suggest taking 3/4 of a tablet for a few weeks then 1/2 a tablet for a few weeks. If you feel OK, you could then consider getting some 10mg tablets.
