I emailed my psychiatrist and he said it should take 3-5 days for the abilify increase to kick in. It's been three days, and I feel a little better, but not cured. I wonder if he should have increased the dose by more than 5mg. I was on 15, but I would have been willing to try 30, especially if it would mean we could stop a couple of my other meds.
I'm still taking the klonopin BID as directed, but I'm ready to stop it. It makes me sleepy during the day, which is hard to work with.... but I'll be a good girl and follow the doc's directions and keep taking it unless he tells me otherwise.
I have so many questions for him... let's hope I can remember them all when I see him on Friday.
