I know we aren’t doctors here but just looking for personal experience! I was on 10 mg of Abilify and I believe 200 mg lamotragine for at least a year. I stopped taking my meds and truthfully have been doing very well for the past six months to a year. I’m going to be starting school soon, and I want to make sure I am at my absolute healthiest. So despite being OK, I would like to start taking my pills again just to be safe, especially an antipsychotic in case of hypo/mania. I am going to call my doctor tomorrow, but I know it will take a few weeks to get in, am I safe to take a 5 mg pill of Abilify every night until then? That’s what he had started me on last time and it worked for me.

So I guess my main question, is it OK to start your pills again if it’s been a long time before talking to your doctor? I’ll start at my lower dose just like I did the first time, 5mg until I am able to talk to him. I would just rather get started on this sooner rather than later. I’m not gonna touch lamotrogine until I can talk to him since I know you need to go up slowly! Thank you for reading this far I appreciate any advice!
