My advice is just to remember that the doctor is changing medicine to find the best combination for you with the least amount of side effects. I take Abilify and it works really well. I have been on 10 mg for 2 years and have had no symptoms of mania or depression. They started me on 20 mg but then lowered it to 15 mg and then 10 mg because it was too much for me. It took a year and a half to get me fully stable, but it does eventually happen. It takes longer for some than others. Hope all goes well on your new medicine.
