hi. I don't like seroquel. I take 30mgs/Abilify, which is I think the highest a lot of doctors will go. I was briefly on 35mgs daily while introducing an antidepressant, to keep me from freaking out over the first couple weeks.

Point is...at the higher doses, Abilify has calmed me down, but it doesn't really "activate" me or do a whole lot to reduce depression. It doesn't make depression any worse or cause depression, though, which is huge.

I personally don't like the idea of 2 antipsychotics going at the same time. Now and then I'll take 2mgs risperidone with some gabapentin at night, just to soothe the agitation that's left over from the daily medications. That's about it. Its not a long term solution, and taking 2 antipsychotics at the same time can make some side effects worse.

Hope things get better. Have you ever tried Ritalin or Focalin? Those work better for me, especially on Abilify.
