I take Abilify and Cymbalta. The Abilify does help with anxiety for sure but it also helps with my depressive symptoms. I know because I cut my dose in half recently as an experiment and within 5 days I was experiencing new anxiety and depression symptoms. I don't have any significant side effects from Abilify.

But it can cause some people to develop diabetes. I made my GP prescribe me an insulin tester and test strips and I checked myself every day for 3 months when I first started taking Abilify. Thankfully it didn't raise my blood sugar but it is a risk.

ETA I have mixed episodes most recently.
