In reply to abillify/lamictal dosage, posted by n_shrimpie on February 6, 2012, at 12:16:34
The 400mg Lamictal probably isn't helping you much in the energy department either. That's not an obscene amount of Lamictal, but most doctors target their dose at 200mg.
I wonder if the abilify at 5mg is amplifying the effects of the other drugs perhaps. Web MD has a free interaction checker. You could see if any of your drugs raise the blood level of the others. It's a fine line with antipsychotics. You have to find the sweet spot that controls symptoms, but doesn't make you exhausted.
good luck
