Coming out of a prolonged manic phase followed by a crushing and hopeless depression which started about 3 weeks ago.

PDoc switched me from Latuda to Abilify 2 weeks ago as I was manic on it previous to the depression (along with Ritalin and Effexor, still on Effexor but at a lower dose).

My question is how long does it take for the Abilify to take effect?
I am still deeply depressed but seeing some positive signs like bathing first thing in the morning, setting patterns with my day etc.. Is this improvement, is this what normal is supposed to be (depressed and semi-functioning)?

Any words of advice or support would be appreciated, pretty low and wondering if I need to call my PDoc.
Thank you,
Drew
