If abilify was working, why did you stop it before? My psych NP recently added Latuda, a different antipsychotic, but the med that has made the biggest difference is the lamictal. Everybody is different though.

The way I see it is that when you are stuck down in a deep hole, street drugs may provide comfort but they aren't going to pull you out.

It can take several months for them to iron out the best treatment. How longdid you try that sober and how aggressive was your caregiver about following up and making changes?
