Just an update - so far, I'm liking the abilify. I'm not sure that it helps me dissociate less exactly, but I do think it has helped a bit with the depression. I know it's supposed to take a while for meds to start working, but that hasn't really been my experience - it seems like it takes maybe 1-1.5 weeks for me to start feeling different. So I'm satisfied with the addition. To my surprise, when I was looking over an old journal, I found out my previous pdoc tried to put me on abilify, but I was resistant. Apparently, back then (I think it was 2009), it made me feel bad.
