I take Abilify 20mg in the morning. I'm also supposed to take Seroquel 100mg at night as needed, but it makes me so tired, even if I split the pills, that I don't often take it. Abilify seems to work ok for me. At least it's not doing anything bad for me. I'd be interested in hearing other opinions. I feel like I'm on a pretty high dose, but then, I'm not on a "proper" mood stabilizer besides it, unless you count TOpamax, which I take 300mg of. I used to take LIthium and the other hard-core mood stabilizers, but I don't anymore. ANyway, i think Seroquel is a good med if you can get past the tiredness. I took it for awhile when I wasn't working or going to school or doing anything that I needed to be up for in the morning, and it helped calm me down and smooth out my moods without causing many side effects or causing weight gain like some of the other antipsychotics.
