I know you're searching for answers, Jeroen, but its hard to explain why certain medications work in certain people's bodies in one way and not in another.Seroquel doesnt quite work the same as it used to and did some unexpected things but is still of crucial value in my treatment. There's no real explanation why.
Genomic testing may explain why I metabolize things faster or slower but that's more of academic value, it is no predictor.
I thought the Abilify was 'working' for you. I don't like to put any downcast on things, but medication is only one part of the picture and practically nothing works 100% -- we all have slight genetic differences that are almost imperceptible that make that so.
Its painful for me to see psychosis like events daily 24/7, I never really thought that was part of my make-up, basically OCD. And that may play a twisted role in things as well as really bad insomnia.
