daisy131864 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 i just got back from the pdoc and she informed me that she read an article about smoking reducing the levels of abilify in the bloodstream. has anyone else heard of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koali777 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I have read this as well, for other antipsychotics too, but unfortunately I don't have any evidence at the moment to back it up. The article said the doses may need to be higher because of smoking. But once again, I have no proof to back it up right this moment so take it for what it's worth.
