If the Abilify helped your depression then you should consider reinstating it with something to alleviate the akathisia. Abilify though is only approved for treating depression as an adjunct. So you would still have to use an antidepressant as your main drug. None of the SSRI's helped me. Lamictal did help some. (It's important to titrate Lamictal very slowly no matter how daring you are. SJS is a possibly fatal side effect otherwise. ) For me though Wellbutrin was the best antidpressant. Just the same, you have to give all antidepressants some time to work. Catapulting isn't in their nature.
