The last pdoc I had put me on 30mg of Abilify daily - which gave me a bad case of muscle tightness & made my hands shake. With the pdoc I've seen the past few years, I've weaned myself down to 5mg daily. I'm on the maximum dose of mood stabilizer (400mg Lamictal), so I hope that will keep me between the lines." I ran out of Abilify about a week ago & feel fine. I've been on APs for decades & think I might be OK if I stop taking them. 5mg isn't much of a dose compared to what I've been on in the past, so I doubt I'd go through the roof. I feel good about this decision...though I know my pdoc would advise against it. My GF knows I'm BP, so if things got out of hand, she'd tell me. How do you know if you still need an AP if you've never tried going without one? And, again, with all the Lamictal I'm on I have something to stabilize my mood. If you've ever done this, what has your experience been? I'll go for it anyways, though.
