o.o
"You've been taking an antidepressant for at least 6 weeks and you're still not where you want to be in terms of treating your depressive symptoms. By having ABILIFY added to your current antidepressant, you may notice some improvement in your depressive symptoms in as early as 1 to 2 weeks. Timing can vary from one person to another, so you should allow time for your body to adjust."
O.O!!!
Your body, your choice...

That's what I tried to explain to her....that it is actually helping her depression, not making it worse...
