> Slinky.Hi Slinky, I don't want AP's pushed on me either. I nearly got a PowerPoint presentation on Abilify a couple of years ago-trying to convince me it would be the perfect solution for all my troubles. Found out my pdoc got wined and dined in Las Vegas by the Abilify makers. Hmm. I think there might have been some undue influence, you think? I just tell them I won't take them-sorry not actively psychotic! You might have some bizarre thoughts, but if you aren't delusional and you are not hallucinating I wouldn't worry too much. Maybe if you can save your thoughts for a therapist instead, that way you don't have to worry about them coming at you with an AP depo injection or something like that. When it comes to pdocs that write the scripts I go by how I "feel", and don't waste any time (not much of that anyway), discussing my thoughts, or the whole session will end up getting wasted and derailed. Just my opinion. I also worry a little about talking too much and ending up getting a drug that will make me worse. Eeek don't need that scene. Hope this helps some.. Mitch
