Abilify has been good to me. I take 30mgs/day. I took 400mgs wellbutrin sr with it for a while, and it was OK. I read something on PubMed or somewhere...in animal studies, Abilify makes ssri and snri drugs work faster and improves response (however they gauge that in animal studies), but they didn't observe the same with wellbutrin. bummer. Still, the combination worked for me for a while.
At 30mgs, Abilify is more anti-manic than for low end mood problems, but I do find that it doesn't --cause-- depression or make depression any worse, which is a good thing. Seroquel made me horribly sad, and zyprexa gave me akathisia, so abilify has been my go-to tranquilizer.
