hey, FB.
No, I haven't seen any of those docs in a while. I saw one--the one who said I was narcissistic and then proceeded to break confidentiality, once when I was within earshot--about a year ago. He tried to stare me down, I stared back, he looked away. Awkward. I think that was before he got a subpoena for my records from the Medical Board. The other guy, who worked at the same mental hospital, apparently no longer works there. The hospital has a website (privately owned, corporate things) with pix of the staff physicians. His picture has been taken down.
Anyway, I think I'll stick with 15mgs/day for now. All I have are 30mgs tablets. I figure the 30mgs will start to self-taper (abilify has like a 3 day half life or something crazy like that) and then the 15mgs should be sufficient to keep the crazy at bay without feeling like a zombie. I guess I could try cutting them into 1/4 pieces, but so far so good. I'm also starting Lamictal soon (tomorrow, hopefully), so I think an anticonvulsant/antidepressant will help take the edge off things. Here's hoping.
Thanks for your concern, and don't worry about asking too many questions or whatever...I appreciate it.
Thanks.
