SmileHere,
Actually, my symptoms started after I was taken off of the Abilify last summer. It took about two months of trying different medications before my symptoms started. They only started after the only medications I was on was lorzepam and 100 mg of lamictal. No antipsychotic.
Then I was put on Abilify after my symptoms went away after ECT treatments or maybe they went dormant for a brief while. Then they came back and gradually got worse. I was put on a very low dose of Abilify in the hospital after the symptoms had started and was gradually increased. It wasn't until I just recently got increased that my symptoms to 15 mg that my symptoms subsided again. However, I thought they went away completely, because I didn't have any symptoms on Sunday and Monday. Had some symptoms last night. So unfortunately, I wish Abilify was the culprit, but it isn't. Anyway, depression has now kicked in as well, so I don't think 15 mg is good for me either. Hopefully will be able to talk to pdoc today.
Anyway, thanks again for your response to my post. It is much appreciated.
