i started on 20mg..i am now up to 30mg...but i am only on day 6 or so of getting back on meds...since for the third time since i started i was "all better" and pretty sure i "was no longer bi-polar"...so right this second i'm on 20mg...got to ride that out till i feel down then up it back to 30mg. I realize it's a very small dose..but...i REALLY react to meds..i am really sensitive to them....like for example..i took HALF of a 25mg tablet of seroquall and got knocked out for 16 hours...before that i took 0.5mg of ativan and had hallucinations and my abilify is 2mg doses...so..while 30mg sounds like a small amount...for my body it's just the same as being on like 60mg..you know what i mean?
