Hi ladyconfused! It's nice to see you back. That sounds good that your doctor took you off the Lamictal, since it gave you such terrible side effects.I hope this next try on Abilify works out very well. Sometimes second tries work better than first tries. I know with some medications that has been the case for me, and vice versa. That's one reason I try not to totally "X" out certain medications. I also have some medications that I know I wouldn't take long-term, but I would definitely take short-term because of their efficacy. The whole point is that you feel better soon.

Thanks for the well wishes!

Keep us updated on how this goes for you.
