Grapefruit juice and citrus in general shouldn't be taken with prescription meds because it reduces the efficacy of the drug. Which means that it doesn't work as well as it could (or should). It's like drinking alcohol with meds, but alcohol INCREASES the effect of the drug (illicit or legal) in the body's system.
Yes, meds do come with various warnings. But with drugs like Abilify the half life (the time it takes to leave your system) is longer then say a decongestant. The type of drug Abilify is is meant to build up in the system so it can constantly work. It's like stacking books over a certain amount of time.
Lav, I'm going to scold you a bit. You shouldn't have stopped cold turkey, love! That was VERY, VERY dangerous! The withdrawal you're going through sounds moderate to severe, and I'm sorry to say, you're going to have a few days of your current symptoms.
Here's your homework: write true things (like God's love, how precious you are, how you're not alone, etc) on pieces of paper and hang them up around the house and where you hang out most in the house. Carry some with you, and when you start to feel fear, sadness, paranoia, or anything like that, pull out those papers and read them. Or write out your favorite scriptures. It will help calm you down, it will provide Godly peace, it will remind you how precious you are. Friday isn't far away. You can absolutely survive this!
And Lil, I'm sorry my reply was so abrupt and harsh. At that moment all I could think of was her going into shock, having a seizure, etc. I knew the consequences of mixing supplements with prescriptions, and I was afraid for lav. Please forgive me.

At what age does the maturity waiver expire?
Maturity does not come with age but with acceptance of responsibility. Responsibility is the ability to respond to problems.
And also from learning from your mistakes, because if you dont, you will tend to repeat them.
You are only young once, but you can be immature indefinitely...

wow don't you love how all these Christians attack each other when they have different beliefs from one another ? I've been here nearly a year and saw a lot of stuff I disagree with , but what good does it do to attack someone for it ? I've heard a lot of stuff I believe bashed from time to time as well.... but it's ok people have a right to their opinion jut like I do ...so I say nothing. blah...rant over.

amen DuchessAimee.
i made the decision because my medical counsel didn't take me seriously when i said i wanted to get off of it, so i pulled a rebel move.
i'm just past month two now, from the day that i stopped. the first two weeks were fine and i actually felt better, then things started going downhill. i was expecting it and got through a lot, but i'm getting tired.
it honestly goes in waves. many days i'll be really ill for days and then i'll get a reprieve of an evening or several days. it's been scary like i knew it would be. i'm going to make it through, though. i believe God can heal me and i know people need medications sometimes but my quality of life was really poor and i honestly believe God is going to heal me.
i should have told her i was going to go of with or without help, and i'm sure she would have listened at that point.
thank you for being there.

Somebody started a thread inviting people to attack the NIV. But people started attacking KJV-only-ism. I went through a few posts and it is completely messed up. I think that thread is hijacked by some supernatural forces. Or cats. I don't know. Just don't go in there. Don't.
..........( sorry, i was waiting to use that. )

I lived in Maine for 8 years and there was plenty of snow and extreme cold. I found that I missed the hurricanes of Florida very much. Nor'easters are kind of fun though but then it is time to shovel the snow. I would much rather prefer cutting the grass and that is a task that I never look forward to.
