Hi. I have BPII. I was on the combination of Risperdal and Effexor all during my 3 year nursing program. It was effective until I started lactating. So I am very new to Abilify. I am wondering what doses are used for mood stabilization and what the side effects are on that dose. I'd appreciate any comments.

Hi. I'm on 10mg once/day in evening as a mood stabalizer as part of my depression/anxiety cocktail.

Hope this helps,
Gwydion
