I tried Abilify but I forget why we chose to go off of it. I do recall having issues remembering to take it once and then had serious SI the next day because that can be a side effect of missing a dose. I think I felt very worried about this and concerned for possibly missing a dose later on in life and what that could entail.

I don't recall the rest. Latuda was a disaster, so was seroquel... Hm.

So far I'm doing really well right now. This time time tapering off of Zyprexa, my antidepressant is a little lower so it's not pushing me straight into mania. Just a tad more energetic, some voices here and there but my Gabapentin and Klonopin seems to take care of that pretty well and any paranoid thoughts.

The flu-ish cold symptoms are gone but I still get some hot and cold sensations which I read can be a side effect.
