My new pdoc does telehealth, so I can stay at home and not having to pay for a cab. When I switched to Abilify from Zyprexa three weeks ago, my old pdoc told me Abilify was more potent than Zyprexa, and he put me on 5mg Abilify. I’ve been hallucinating some and my mind occasionally slips into delusion. I learned 10mg was the minimum dose for schizophrenia and Zyprexa is more potent than Abilify. I’m not happy with him for telling me a story.
My PCP gave me 10mg of Abilify until I can see my new pdoc. I’m glad to be gone from my old provider. I am really tired of their bs.

Sounds like you’ve made a good move. Hope the new doc is good for you so keep on the front foot and be proactive with things. You get a good doc you don’t let them go.

5mg is the starting dose for schizophrenia even if it isn’t the AP dose, you have to titrate

Well, thats what I though That zyprexa was stronger or more potent than ablify. Its almost shocking how much it doesn’t seem like these pdoc know what they are talking about

Maybe they wanted you on a different drug at the lowest dose possible? They wanted to see if it would work. Maybe thats why they told you a story.
