> Morgan is true but CE has legitimate reasons for staying on at least a low dose of abilify. He doesn't want to end up back in hospital. He's come so far. Phillipa
I hear ya..But, he also wants to feel like a human being again. And, I'm do not think a low dose of Abilify, say 5 mg, does a very good job as an antimanic or antipsychotic agent. I think Depakote and Lithium would be much better choices and healthier in the long run. If you take them, you can take l methylfolate to fend against depletion, and l carnitine to fend against depletion caused only by Depakote.
F*ck APs, they are overused and overrated.
One thing I think we need to be more aware of and focus more on resolving is fear. Fear is the real problem here with most of us. Well, fear and not truly loving ourselves, not in a proper way. If you don't think fear and lack of love and nurture are playing a role in your current mental health issues, you are in complete denial.
Not willing to face the painful truth and very sad and hurtful feelings deep inside, then you are not also ever really going to get better. Reality is a bitch, but if you can face it, you are going to be better off.
Medication is necessary, but i swear, in a different world, it would not be for the large majority of us.
