hi. I was on 30 mgs/abilify for a long time. Now, I"m working my way up to 200mgs/lamictal, and I've been down to 20mgs/Abilify for a while. The initial jump from 30 to 20 was kinda rough--10mgs cut, no taper--but my brain bounced back, and I like 20 more than 30.

for those of you w/ bipolar I or similar problems, how low have you been able to go on Abilify? as you reduced the dosage, did it become less sedating, more stimulating/"activating," or just...less tranquilizing?

I keep reading that 10mgs is a fairly standard minimum for "serious" problems, but...it also seems that dosing w/ tranquilizers varies wildly. i just want to come up with something of a game plan, because 20mgs is better than 30, but its still -definitely- a tranquilizer.

thanks. :-)
