Hi Scott,
Thanks for your note.
On Abilify 2.5 mg, I became very irritable and wanted to spend more than usual. I stopped that med pretty quickly.

I don't think it made me feel any better.

I have had trials of both nardil (intolerable dizziness) and parnate (dangerous spikes in blood pressure unrelated to anything i had eaten, drank, taken, etc.)
As always, thank you for your thoughts.
