I am currently taking Lexapro (escitalopram), 10 mg, and Abilify (aripiprazole), 6 mg, basically for depression and anxiety (present diagnosis... Mood Disorder NOS). My psych Dr. thinks I should go up on the abilify but I don't want to because in the past, on higher doses, it has caused my anxiety to get worse (and strangely made me feel more 'out of it'). She has also suggested changing meds from abilify to latuda. But I don't really want to take another antipsychotic because of side effects. I'd like to know... has anyone with depression, anxiety, and a mood disorder had their anxiety relieved by taking a certain medication? (Other than Benzos and Bipolar meds that cause weight gain). Thank you.
