I see my pdoc Monday. He has put me on 3 other things in the past for it.. things for Parkinsons. They have either not worked or caused extreme anxiety. I'll ask for Propranolol on Monday. Until Monday, I have lowered my Abilify back down to 5 mg where it doesnt give me any side effects. I took Melatonin last night and I FINALLY slept. Thank all the possible Gods out there. Maybe I can make it work by taking "a pill for a pill".
