thanks for the concern. I too have the tearing my hair out scenario if I go over 5mg of abilify, but have not tried any additional AP's at all. As I may have, or should have, mentioned in my original post, I cannot take any, and I mean any, of the mood stabilizers they all have negative and detrimental side effects with me and no positive effects that would warrant trying to live with the SE's. I have taken Wellbutrin in the past, but it causes me to get hypomanic as well as for my hair to fall out....not a pretty sight believe me and it only contributes to depression rather than alleviate it. Interestingly, my sister is also unable to take Wellbutrin. I will ask my pdoc about varying or addding to the AP in particular and perhaps I can eliminate some of my other meds such as the anxiolytic ones. I like the idea that Seroquel does not have the weight gain profile of Zyprexa.
