I just worry that someday I'll reach the outer parameters of safe dosing, and THEN what will happen?? Scary thought.......

I'm actually feeling embarrassed at the prospect of my next pdoc appt, telling him what happened. There is absolutely no rational reason for this and he certainly has never given me cause/would never judge me or anything like that.
I also am afraid of increased doses, adding medications. My pdoc has recommended adding Abilify, but so far I've refused. I don't want still more meds and I'm afraid that once I go on x med (especially another AP) that then I won't be able to come off of it.
