"i am on a much higher dose than most others here, 10 mg. i do have bipolar illness, perhaps that is why my cocktail also includes 400 mg lamictal and 25 mcg cytomel. i am stable after eight years with this combo. i still have manic episodes, but much more manageable, thank god! what is also nice is that the abilify is available as a generic drug. beforehand it was $80/ month, even with excellent insurance. worth a try!"
