So for two weeks now, in addition to a crappy depression, I've been feeling like I'm crawling out of my skin and just can't get comfortable sitting down. Well... turns out about 3 weeks ago my pharmacist accidently gave me 15mg instead of 5. The depression going along with some major life difficulties.. so I don't think increasing the abilify enhanced my depression???

I just found out today and they are calling my pdoc but I haven't heard anything yet. So I will learn more later...

I am very sorry that has happened to you.

I have lots of prescriptions and it's difficult to keep track, esp if there is a dosage change or a med change. Luckily, my pharmacy labels each med with dosage and a written description of the pill/capsule. I check it all, at least once, often more than once. Lots of errors are made in pharmacies, according to some news stories I have seen.

I am glad the error was discovered and that you are okay.

Oh wow! Sorry you had to go through this. pharmacies do make mistakes. I get really nervous when they change suppliers and the pills look different. I always call and make sure the gave me the right meds.
