Just thinking about it. Also about like 75mgs of Lamictal.
Doesnt have to be, but those are the only ones i could think of right now.

For depression? (Sorry - haven't read a lot of posts lately so I don't know your diagnosis.) Very low doses of Abilify can be extremely effective for depression. I have been taking 1 mg of Abilify every other day. I used to take 2.5 mg every other day but have been able to get away with a lower dose of Abilify since adding minocycline.Good luck.

Yeah, Phillipa.
Well it would be ontop of 300mgs Seroquel. So im not relying on the Abilify for control of positive symptoms or anything. More negative ones + depression.
Also thought about Lamotrigine low dose. Idk if i should suggest that to my doctor or not.
I have become careful to ask for drugs the doc doesnt suggest on his own...

Lamadge the best of luck with your decision. Only you know your doc well enough to judge how he will react to suggestions. Phillipa

Well the bottom line is that low dose Abilify could help what you call depression without making me psychotic and so could low dose Lamictal right?
Maybe i will ask.
Although i dont know how this will fit into my supplement plans.
