Nice! Hope you had a great time.Our Internet connection was intermittent, so I didn't get to surf very much. I became more of a lurker than a poster. I guess I was partially burned out from posting. I like seeing that there is less tumult and more focus on the Medication board. I hope it lasts.
I think the less people feel the need to respond to problem posters, the less problem posters post.

My depression did not get worse at the higher dosage, but I was cognitively impaired and somnolent. I crossed over from Abilify 10.0 mg/day back to Rexulti 2.0 mg/day for a comparison. Let's see what happens over the next two weeks.

Well keep us posted. I know Result is new and am curious how it compares with abilify. Abiify worked wonders for depression for me but I was never able to stay on it because of crazy weight gain. I take now for 2-3 weeks prn if things start getting out of control. ( I have bouts of agitated depression where all I think about is suicide and abiify really works for that). But if I fall back into a chronic depression, I would love to know there's something comparable that (hopefully) does not cause the rapid weight gain.
Glad you're alive and hanging in.> Be well, BB55.
