YES! I've been learning Mindfulness techniques in my Dialectical Behavioral therapy group (meet once a week & then meet the therapist individually once a week). And it has helped me SO MUCH. I've been doing it for about a year & I'm off Abilify completely (had to get off it as in the 12 years I've been on it I've gained 50 lbs. & now have to take meds for high blood pressure & cholesterol & now am testing as diabetic & both my parents were diabetic, but Abilify DID clear up my delusional thinking & paranoia), have been able to cut my Lamictal dosage by 1/2, off Klonopin, off Trazodone. Still on several meds--but improving as I'm taking more control of my thoughts & feelings with DBT & the mindfulness techniques they teach.
