One note - it gave me bad insomnia for about eight weeks at the startup. That wore off and then I slept well - far better in fact than before the depression was adequately treated. During those initial eight weeks, I used a low dose of Seroquel to help with sleep. So do not be discouraged if you encounter the startup insomnia.
Thanks rockgal, and I'm glad it worked for you. I doubt I'll experience insomnia because with taking trazadone and Xanax at night, I sleep great. Took abilify yesterday afternoon and slept great at night.
