I am on these two plus klonopin for anxiety. Lamictal worked great - but I was still getting paranoia and some depression. We added Abilify a couple of months ago at a very low dose. Each increase in dosage helps my paranoia. I still have it, but it's getting markedly better. I might need another increase just to top it off. I'm only on 5mg currently. I've had some minor manic episodes since being on it, but no depression. I'm currently just flat - which everyone tells me is normally called "normal"

No weight gain that can be attributed to meds - just a sudden decrease in exersize due to an injury. I just switched to taking lamictal and klonopin at night, and abilify in the morning. I think taking everything at night was not allowing me to sleep well so I have been really fatigued lately. We'll see how the different times works out. Other side effects that have effected me include tremors. Although they do affect the ability to pour things, use a screwdriver, write without shaking etc, I can live with them. As long as they don't get worse. However, I am going to be bringing this up with my dr. today as I understand there may be a med that can help control the shaking. We'll see.

I like the combo and really hope my dr. does not change them. He stays with the same meds for a very long time before trying something new, so I really don't think they're going anywhere.
