I just don't think I can get a private practice doc. I took 1 shrink to the state medical board a couple years ago. As part of the process, I had to have all my mental health providers subpoenad. Now, I can't get a shrink, except at the public health place.
I dropped out of treatment at the public health place because I felt like a patient...probably because (guess what), I am a patient. Also, a shrink from back in the day tried (and failed) to have me forcibly treated through a "detention order."
I get that there are other drugs out there, but I kinda just want to try a lower dose of Abilify sans the anticonvulsant and see what happens. SLS, you're advice is spot on: low(ish) dosing the Abilify might be the way to go. I'm not really troubled by psych meds so much as I am by shrinks themselves and the psychiatric establishment. Maybe I'll go to a family doctor.
