Thank you all for your responses. I've been on it now for a few days and I have to say to say that I'm already feeling a bit of a 'lift' in mood. Not that I'm going around spreading cheer and good will but things are looking a bit better. From what I've read on other ADHD forums, Abilify seems to either work great or put people deeper into depths of despair. It is a dopamine partial agonist. So, if the dopamine in your brain isn't doing what it's supposed to, this may help as an adjunct to another antidepressant at low doses.

Touch of gray: thank you so much for sharing this info with us. I found the website.

Nerak67: I've posted in those forums before with only minimal response.

gayleggg and bronzeowl: That is an outrageous cost! Does Medicaid cover it? Maybe Abilify has another sort of patient assistance program you could use.
