Thanks for you reply, it gives me some hope that there is something out there that may help me. In the begining, on Pexeva since June I was sleeping way too much and my doc said if that continues, there was something else he could add to it but he had to wait and see how I did. I've been on other SSRIs for about 10 years now and Cymbalta and Effexor durning the last 5 of those years, each one pooping out on me as I relapsed. this new doc is very good and doesn't just up the medication without really watching me. Before, I had just pc docs who just handed out the meds like candy. This time period since my last medication check is 3 months. So I'm feeling more "symptoms" I guess. I don't know if he is going to think I need something else, but I'm thinking maybe I do. I hate sleeping my life away or not being able to sleep at all. Yet, I welcome sleep as a way to not being bored and not motivatied to do anything. I do fine when I have something to do, like a scheduled day with my friend. Or a dentist appointment! or weekly grocery shopping that has to be done. That's why I'm doint know if that is depression or just being lazy.

Thanks and sorry about rambling on.....I've just trying to figure it out.

Since I'm new at this hope my question isn't prying too much. But, what do you mean by feeling "stable"? I know that sounds silly, but how has Ability helped exactly? Why did your doc have you start it, what kinds of things-feelings, behaviors-mood-were you having and is depression your only problem. Mine is MDD and Pexeva is working for me-never have been suicidal just depressed in ways that made life painful or not as good as it once was. When you started Abilify were you feeling up and down, too emotional or just flat with no energy type of thing?
