I have been on more meds than I can remember (not that my memory is anything to brag about).....

BUT, a few months back I was put on Abilify (and three others, but Abilify is the one that is relatively new to me). and long story, short..... I do actually see some improvement. I still have dark moments - but not as many.

One side note - I am on the brand name Abilify (not a generic). Here is the funny/stupid side. The generic cost (after insurance) over $100 per month. But you can get a "discount" card for the brand name Abilify (you just have to call an 800 phone number to activate) and you get the brand name medicine for $5 per month. NO LOGIC to this at all.

That counts as a "success," and I hope the combination long continues to provide you some relief.

IDM, that is a success! I, too, have started a new med about three months back. It makes me feel better.....not great, no perfect, but definitely better. I am sure you are thankful for this new med. Thank you for letting us know.
