Please call him directly and talk to him @ 702-438-5977 or email me at asd1947@msn.com

Hello abby dagley,

 

Schizophrenia Connection has a policy whereby community members are asked to refrain from giving their personal information [phone number, etc.] publicly on this web site.

 

Nobody should "call him directly" and I sure hope people refrain from calling him directly.  I would say this even if his problem was directly related to the medical condition talked about on this site, which is schizophrenia and has nothing to do with swallowing problems, for which he should ask his doctor what to do.

 

Abilify is an anti-psychotic used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar, or as an adjunct medication to treat depression when the anti-depressant alone isn't doing the trick.

 

It is not used for swallowing problems.

 

Regards,

Christina
