hi. i understand being concerned about adverse effects. abilify is OK, but it can cause TD and all the other problems one associates with neuroleptics, plus...it seems that a lot of people go thru hell trying to get off of it, more so than many other psych drugs. i don't get it.
some people take mirapex. i guess its like the non-euphoric, non-addictive alternative to ritalin? I dunno. its stimulating and such, seems to help some forms of low mood, concentration difficulties, etc. i would assume it's cheaper than abilfy or the other d2 partial agonist drugs.
sorry about all this. now that i think about...with -any- neuroleptic, lower dosage is probably the way to go, when and if possible. have you considered supplements? I've personally found that b-vitamins and antioxidants help me tolerate the tranquilizer better (no stiff gait, akathisia, eps, major dypshoria, td, etc.).
hope this helps a bit. good luck.
