well the years long depression has lifted quite nicely ... now on a daily basis I melt down with anger , rage in its total glory ...
it seems I have traded my calm depressed life for a seething volcano of emotion .. all bad ... well on the good side me and the wife are getting along better ... I am interacting with the kids more ... in some ways I am right back to my teens ... the abilify does work ... maybe too good ... old (decades old) emotions are coming up with enough energy to be really destructive this time ... 98% of the time I am in total control and life is good ... but my god my tolerence level has gone to 0% ... I have only been on abilify for 3 weeks and am at 5mg ... he wants me at 15 ... we may have to talk about that .. I want to stay at 5 or even reduce that ... sorry just rambling ... Tigger ... |

If youre feeling irritable why not see if the Abilify helps? You have to get to a theraputic level with meds.

At higher dosages Abilify acts more as an anti psychotic. I am on 20mg and cool as a cucumber. I think you will notice a difference as you go up in dosage. At your dosage abilify acts more like an anti depressant.

I have been on just 2 mg, with help for depression. I cannot go higher in dose. At higher doses, I get strange cramping/spasms in my legs and akathisia, etc.
I have also gained weight on it. Do whatever works for you.  WC

I have come to realize that when I am depressed with no energy it is very easy to be laid back , at peace and all that .. as you say abilify is acting as a ad now . so I have the energy to act out ... and it is coming fast and furious ... maybe a higher dose will calm me back down ... but maybe it will continue to act as it is now ... but between the anger eating me alive and almost 0 sleep ... just not sure this is the right med for me ... but I guess I will go on because I promised to be totaly complient from now on ... just hope someone does not get hurt before this settles out ... be strong my friends ....

The price you pay for coming out of depression is 0% tolerance.
The "I'm not going to take it anymore" syndrome. Being there......... It will get better. You'll feel like yourself again. Just don't make a mountain out of a mowhill. The little stuff won't get to you after a wnile. I'm VERY glad for you!!!. Cheers.
