He just thought that Abilify would be much better for me. He was wrong. But he was also the medical consultant to BMS for Abilify (perhaps a conflict of interest?). He knew that I had side effects. But he gave me other meds to fight off those side efffects (Klonopin and Propanol). Since Dr. Frye won't speak to the media (and I have given him clearance), it's a bit suspcious. So feel free to write to him and ask him why as a doctor he would take me off this regimen if it was working for me. I'm serious. He should be accountable and he won't even speak with me. He should be scared. He didn't keep accurate medical records and never even noted that he put me on Abilify until four months later. Write to Dr. Frye at [email protected]

[sarcasm off, nothing meant terribly offensive but this is going a bit far and using the forum for purposes other than back and forth discussion]
Nobody FORCED you to take medication.
I know you may have gone through difficulties, I can tell you all about my troubles but I really don't see the relevance to this, and we can all appreciate this.
It also really isn't a good idea to drop names of doctors on a forum that is open to the public, but there appears to be an agenda here anyhow and so you've already waived your HIPAA privacy rights many times over.
There is no need to use this forum as a soapbox so people can spam Dr. Mark Frye, who has no criminal record or complaints for his medical licenses in California and Minnesota (you can verify this if you so choose).
