So, I stopped taking the Celexa and the Abilify for about a week. I'm not going to restart the Celexa (I'm DONE with SSRIs!), but I decided I should probably re-start the Abilify at a lower dose.
I was at 30mgs/day. I read online that 7.5mgs is about equal to 100mgs Thorazine or 2mgs Haldol, both of which are apparently small but sometimes effective maintenance doses. Since I'm working with 30mgs tablets, its alot easier to get it into roughly 1/4 chunks than it would be to try to get 10mgs chunks (10mgs/Abilify is apparently just as effective as higher doses...).
So, I cut my pills into 1/4 chunks yesterday, and so far I'm feeling good. No voices, no significant agitation, no real mood problems of any sort, I'm just relatively normal, but feeling decidedly less tranquilized.
