My attitude has been to trust your doctor or find one you do trust. Ask why they are adding a drug and give your opinion. Then I give it a try.

Abilify tends to be more activating at low doses, so if you're looking at it to help with depression, that would be good. But for mania and mixed moods it's usually more effective at moderate to high doses. Just an FYI if some of those symptoms or anxiety intensify at the low dose, higher doses may help.

Lurking because I take a low dose of Abilify.... which my pdoc says has some AD effect and is supposed to help curb irritability outbursts.

Abilify was bad for me... caused me to for a lack of better terminology flip out. ... just throwing that out there so both sides are covered. . We all react differently. Hope it is good for you

Abilify caused tardive dyskinesia with me. It was a real nightmare.

It was hell for my son to get on but he's loved since. It's what keeps my husband from crushing depression.
