i personally do better with abilify. abilify is somewhat unusual in that low doses can help depression w/ an antidepressant, but the normal doses for bipolar and schizophrenia aren't usually that great for depression. Thanks, Big Pharma.

on the plus side, Abilify causes less weight gain and far less sedation than Seroquel. Seroquel might have a somewhat lower risk of TD, although...that seems unclear.

Wellbutrin+Abilify worked well for me...now its Lamictal+Abilify, which is actually a bit better, overall.

a shrink once recommended amoxapine. I kind of wish I'd at least tried it...old school antidepressant that does double duty as a tranquilizer. I wonder if that could be a 1 drug miracle for some Bipolar, possibly some Schizophrenic, people?
