I think I started the Abilify at the beginning of March. I'm not sure exactly how long I've been on it. I haven't been experiencing many psychotic symptoms for the past 6 months or so, so my pdoc's plan is to use Seroquel as a mood stabilizer/anti-manic, and the Abilify to help depression. Hopefully the psychosis will play nice and this combo will work. Abilify seems to be working at a low dose, and I feel ok about that - since it's meant to handle my depression, my pdoc can increase it if needed.

Underneath this skin there's a human
Buried deep within there's a human
And despite everything I'm still human
I think that I'm still human
