Hi sun flower,

This sounds not fun. So sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well. I can relate...
Understandable, your not wanting to trade in one problem for another. I didn't know abilify had that diabetes thing. Someone had told me it was basically the same thing as effexor, just processed differently. Sometimes those side-effects are a total drag, it's like what's the point?
Have you already tried increasing your dose of effexor?
Do you see a therapist?
Do you sleep ok at night?

Sending good thoughts your way.
