I take Lamictal, Wellbutrin and low dose of Lexapro.

Does anyone take Abilify for depressive episodes????

Wondering if I should ask my doc about that

I took it once for a month and had no change in depressive or manic symptoms but have heard good things from others. You are on three meds that should be stopping the depression. Maybe figuring out which one, or ones, are not working should be first port of call otherwise you will end up on way too many, possibly, unnecessary meds.

When do you see your pdoc again?

OMG. You're so right!!! My guess is that the Lexapro isn't doing anything. It is only 10mg, and I'm pretty sure that doesn't help. Upping my Wellbutrin helped a lot, going up with my Lamictal feels like it made it worse.

I will talk to pdoc. Thanks so much
