Thanks for all the reasoned and thoughtful replys. My doc and I did decrease the Abilify to 2.5mg and the Lithium to 750mg about 4 months ago--I see no difference whatsoever. The trazodone is at 150mg and the buspar at 60mg. I am not even sure if going off the meds will help as I suspect the ECT txs as a contributor to the mental and emotional dullness. I swear my IQ dropped 20 pts after that! My psych has been known to say that therapy can be just as good as meds, and now that I can go to therapy 2xs a week (insurance finally covers it) I do see a difference. Hope my psych puts his money where his mouth is. I'm tired of feeling like a dull-witted moron. Okay that is some hyperbole but I think most people on meds know what I mean.
