Dear BJ,
I send my condolences on the loss of your parents. That is a lot to deal with, especially in a short amount of time.

Your pdoc should give you meds that help "stop the committee in your head."
When do you see the psychiatrist again? In a day or two if you are not feeling better you should telephone and let him or her know that you are still not sleeping.

How much Abilify do you take and what time of day?
Some people do well on Abilify and some people do not. You need to let the pdoc know what is happening.

The pyschiatrists expect the meds to go through some trial and error. Feel free to stay in close contact.

Mari
