My dad and boyfriend have been extremely supportive since my diagnosis and are even reading up on BPD to try to better understand. This community is so wonderful, and I'm thankful for you all. My dad has Type 1 diabetes and has said the same thing.. That there should be no shame in having something that you can't control. I can't wait to start therapy and the Abilify. Do you think starting in 15mg is too much? I don't know if weight/size has anything to do with doing, but I'm a relatively small person

Fifteen is a lot, I feel. I started on five and went up to fifteen. Fifteen actually made me too slow...I felt and thought normally but my processing time was delayed. It was weird. I had to back off to ten. BUT I am very med sensitive.
Bring it up with your doctor just to be sure.
Good luck with getting off tramadol. My husband is on Vicodin for a back injury and he usually doesn't take it on the weekend - even just those two days put him into withdrawal. It sucks!
