He's currently on both abilify and lithium and is getting awful headaches every few days. Any advice on which drug to ask the psychiatrist to drop?
Not a fan of suggesting to any doctor how to treat patients, as telling which to stop implies. However, could there be more going on with this athlete where headaches are concerned? There's a chance it is not a medication side effect.
