In reply to when to reduce dosages..., posted by Christ_empowered on July 26, 2016, at 10:32:08
My initial reaction is that you should make one change at a time. It might be a good idea to bring the Lamictal dosage up before reducing the dosage of Abilify. That way, you would have more antidepressant coverage should you need it. Trileptal can act as a mood stabilizer with anti-manic, anti-anger, and anti-impulse properties. Be sure that you are stabilized and have optimized your dosages of Lamictal and Abilify before attempting to reduce the dosage of Trileptal.
I wonder if Reluxti would be less apt to produce the feelings that are upsetting you. It is a sister drug to Abilify, but less potent at D3 receptors. I'm sure that there are other differences, but I don't recall them right now. I am thinking of switching from Abilify to Reluxti should I get "stuck" in my recovery.
