I take 45mg of Abilify and I don't have any side effects. It has significantly helped me and I consider it one of my drugs for the long haul. hth

I used to take 50 mg of abilify but I got shakey hands at that dose. So my pdoc has lowered it over time, trying to get me off of it. When I get lower than 5mg I lose all my energy. So I take 5mg a day. I don't know what it does for me other than give me energy.

It didn't work for me at all. I'm BP II and therefore mostly depressed, I think Abilify treats mania better.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
