Feels like I'm taking sugar pills. They're not doing anything and if they are I feel like it's probably more harm than good. Freaking hallucinations? SI? Suicidal thoughts? If I weren't so dang depressed I'd be furious. At the same time I keep having lots of energy, but am still depressed.
Just took my pills anyway like a good little insane person. Whoopee! **** everything.

yeah. I have spurts where I just need to get EVERYTHING done even when i don't have coffee. It's hard to sleep despite feeling tired. I've been self medicating with caffeine because it seems to be the only thing that even temporary kicks my depression in the face.

Its not impossible that meds are making you worse... Some AD's have made people suicidal, some benzos have made people anxious, so don't discount that thought because you may be onto something here. Have you done a before and after meds check to ascertain what you experienced before meds and the degree of severity, in comparison with now?
If the medicated list is worse than the unmedicated, I strongly suggest you speak to your pdoc about different options. I dont know if my meds actually made me more symptomatic, or if it was my "I'm ill I take crazy pills, mindset, but I was definitly worse medicated. Hope you get to the bottom of this, you deserve much better ![]() |

Just FYI abilify can make you have that kind of energy, mostly restless. I never had it on as low a dose as you though, I was on 10. I felt like I had to be constantly doing something.
