Landmark tweetet the study today. She says that the study finds that CBT is safe, is that so?

I wish that is was like that, but it isn’t. I notice most in sleep, now that I have gone up to 1mg, again, I can fall asleep 11 on the evening and sleep to 10 the next day, and the days are better because of that. Instead of having trouble falling asleep before midnight even if I am very tired...

Since the effect seem to lessen, I increase to 1mg/day.

I answered Stolen with this tweet, I have been tweeting a lot this afternoon to explain “our side” “Criticism is not for granted, sometimes it is considered harassment by someone. But otherwise I agree. The internet probably has a lot of the blame, easy to write where you otherwise did not say...

That is true, but seems that Stølen at least have the knowledge not to retweet this article. Not very much, but something good. And @Kalliope I agree. There is a marked shift in Mykletun from the day before and today. Wouldn’t be surprised someone with influence influenced what today’s article...

Was that by spinal tap?

They/she didn’t say, just that it was this place she went to. https://labomgd.ch/catalogue-danalyses/bilans-speciaux/?fbclid=IwAR2sY5kKioAL94Tx7gzbI_YFW0W7Dtillg6tYxCD4TcCo_bmL_b_gHWJCsE Unfortunately only in French. She is looking for persons with interest in this, and is on FB. I do not have...

Now I found the Abilify thread on the other forum. Impressive niveau. I read there that you’re not in the FB group @leokitten, but on the FB group are this patient with a degree in bio-engineering that have been able to measure or somehow find out that they’re low on dopamine, high on serotonin...

There is this other ME patient that seems to resemble me in the sleep difficulties, she too takes a lot of Sarotex. Although her doctor set the limit on 50mg, and to add with quetiapin 25 or 50mg when she was “desperate”. Quetiapin is also one of the 2nd generation antipsychotics, and the...

Yeah, I know the feeling. Sleeping is really really essential for not ruining completely the day after. Thats why I in addition to Sarotex 75mg, the most my GP would give, have had painkillers and some grams of melatonin, and that luckily has helped enough. I have tried other medications like...

Thanks for the update, @leokitten. Looking good! I am not stable yet. Some days are as bad as before Abilify, and some days are very much better. Maybe I am messing too much with dose-changing. I have been on 0,75mg for some days and also experienced this instability. Now I am going to be...

I can say/write, “I am going up a little, because I want to see if I can improve more” and also how I am doing on the dose I do and when she doesn’t protest I take that as a aprovement. We’ve both read the study. Sorry for all the editing, I have used my mental energy for the day it seems. A...

She hasn’t said exactly that, and I do not have a good translator for the word tweek either. But she trusts me, and I keep her informed.

What influences most is the Stanford study. My GP prescribes along the lines outlined there. Start with 0,25mg per day, and eventually going upwards if wanted/needed after a few weeks. I have recently upped to 0,75mg, want to see if I can improve more. I have improvement, feeling better, but am...

About the summing up from former doses, I should have written it above. Given 20% disappear every day, that means one has 0,8 times the daily dose from yesterday, from the day before yesterday, one has 0,8*0,8 times the daily dose, from three days ago, the rest is 0,8*0,8*0,8 times the daily...

Abilify as I read have half-life 75h, or even more. That means that we eliminate ca. 20% of the amount in the body per day. And that also means that the effective dose is really five times the daily dose (by adding all the former dose rests), in mathematical theory What do you mean above? That...

Regarding doses, I think it’s worth pointing out that in the study, the mean dose was 1,1mg. That means there were several that benefitted from Abilify that had their dose less than 1mg.

@Jaybee00; thanks. I am sorry that you experienced permanent worsening on sleep. Hopefully, I don’t have to go up to 2mg and hopefully maybe not get tolerance, and sleep worsening.

What was your dose @Jaybee00? And did you take it long before it stopped working?
