My doc took me off of abilify and put me on Lamictal instead. It is a mood stabilizer for bi-polar but is now being used for depression. I did notice a big elevation in my mood since being on it and no side effects. Right now I am switching from effexor to fetzima.
Yeah they will probably want to increase your dose first before switching or maybe increase dose and add something else.
