thanks a lot! it means a lot to me
I've had a pretty good run with Abilify in combination with Lamictal. It's not perfect, but it's done a lot to keep depression in check. Abilify has absolutely wonderful for keeping a lid on my anxiety. I have had nothing even remotely resembling tremor. I have had some weight gain, but not everyone does. During my first 8 weeks on it, I had insomnia, but that resolved itself. I used a dash of Seroquel for the insomnia for a few weeks. I (and some others out there) do well with low doses of Abilify for depression. I don't take more than 2.5 mg. Because it can make me a bit logy, I take it at night.

Of course the only way you'll know what benefits and side effects you'll have is to try it. For me, the positive effects kicked in gloriously at about 4 or 5 days. Everyone is different. Good luck.
Thanks for this!
