I am so happy for you, CE! And I think a lot of mood-normal people like to avoid crowded stores :-)

Now that the Lamictal is at 200 and I've been taking it at lower doses for over a month during my gradual titration, I feel so much better. The voices in my head are down to a minimum, and I don't let them bother me. My Abilify dosage is now 15, which so far (its only been one day, lol) seems to be sufficient.

Also, I'm doing things with people and my "social phobia" (I think these days its part of the psychotic depression) is now minimal, although I do still avoid very crowded stores if I can.
