ive seen ridiculous range in doses for the moody amongst us...from something like 1 or 2mgs/day all the way up to 30, maxed out.
if psychosis and/or agitation are not a constant problem, I think some people take tranquilizer just as-needed (PRN). Tranquilizers work fast on some problems, so...they can be a good PRN option for some people, with certain problems.
maybe psych drugs just aren't for you? I don't know if I should put that on this board, but...well, they're OK for severe problems, if you define "severe" going by DSM or ICD criteria. I"m in the "severe" category, and I respond to and tolerate Abilify.
thing is...no one knows what causes mental illness. not that pills don't help. they do, sometimes. sometimes...they cause more harm than good.
I'm not trying to criticize you or anything, but maybe...just an as-needed Ativan and an understanding counselor, psychotherapist...even a (gasp) real friend? (admittedly, real friends are a rare find in 21st century America...).
sorry you're going thru this.
