[QUOTE="Alisonlg, post: 66661, member: 2894"] So we had an appointment with M's psychiatrist Thursday morning... I swear, I don't think he even listened to my message on the voicemail!!! I left a VERY detailed message describing M's "manic" behaviors, etc. and when I got in his office today I had to re-describe it all and when it started and how long it lasted...it was like he was totally clueless as to why we had an appointment. I think the receptionist is the only one who listens to the messages! I'm appauled. Anyway... So, psychiatrist's plan is to swap out the Seroquel and switch in Abilify so that we can try getting to a higher equivalent dose (since we weren't able to go higher on the Seroquel without M having side effects, like no being able to urinate). We're leaving the Celexa as is. So, he's starting on 2.5 mg of Abilify BID for 3 days and then going to 5 mg BID. I wonder if he'll start eating like a horse again! I remember that Zyprexa made him insatiably hungry. I just hope we don't see any re-emergence of rages during or after this transition. [/QUOTE]
