When I got off of Abilify (7 weeks lowest dose), I started to have crying spells every now and then during my low point of the day. I had a peculiar interaction with Rexulti where it was good for weeks 2 and 3 but when my sleep schedule went upside down, it became intolerable. After taking a half dose (doc said to try to tolerate it if possible), my partner said he wouldn't be home for lunch that day and I burst out sobbing uncontrollably. That was very irregular.

Also, going from 10 mg to 5 mg of Lexapro was okay when on Abilify (I stopped due to weight gain which was way too rapid), then up to 7.5 for 7 weeks, down to 5 mg again with Rexulti and now just 5 mg Lexapro till we figure out what to try next (Tuesday). I was so well on 10 mg of Lexapro for 10 years. It's the only thing I took and it seemed to just nail all of the individual symptoms I had (depression, insomnia, IBS-C, "transformed" migraine) as well as making me -feel- things, laughing more, crying, able to actually experience emotion firsthand, joy, love. There was a sense in the background that everything was okay even when the day to day stuff had little ups and downs.

Having that missing has been horrible. I'm hoping it just pooped out on me and there's an antidepressant that can do that again, along with something that can help with cycling.
