Does Abilify have any antipsychotic affects at 5mg?


Recommended Posts

I've been on that dose more than 2 1/2 years for schizophrenia. A pdoc I recently went to see said it was not affective at that dose for schizophrenia but somehow I've managed a four year remission since my first break.

My pdoc reduced my dosage to 7.5 mg but he says now it works more as an adjunct to my antidepressant.  I have a different  dx, schizoaffective, but i have also been in remission for psychotic symptoms for years (I do have anxiety and depression still).  I'm not sure how I feel about my current regimen.  It helps with depression but I worry it won't hold back a manic or psychotic episode. Does the pdoc want to change it?  

 

I am seeing a new pdoc on Wednesday.  I don't know what he will say about my meds.

No, doesn't intend to change it since i'm in remission. I've been doing very well on it. I was on 10mg before that but not for very long. Good luck with your appointment confused.
