Are they not going to slowly take you down on the Abilify? I will be off of it in three weeks.

My appt. went pretty well. Except I didn't have strep. I had a major bacterial infection in my throat and bronchitis. They gave me antibiotics and steroids and an inhaler. My throat is killing me, but he was way more worried about the bronchitis.

What meds are you going to be on now??? I think you already told me, but i forgot...sorry!

Because I was on a low dose of Abilify, we tapered down for a week and now I am stopping. I'm sorry that you feel so bad, I hope you feel better soon. I will be on Equetro (mood stabalizer) and Klonopin as needed.

Thanks y'all. Of course I start getting miserable just when I was going to start getting my meds 3 months at a time to save money. Sad Now I haven't filled my meds since the beginning of the year and I have new insurance so I don't know if I can refill them online like I normally do.
