My pdoc just added a small dose of Abilify to my Zoloft. I'm concerned that it's going to blunt my emotions. Of course, I want to get my depression and anxiety under control, but I still want to be able to feel--not just in my life in general, but also in therapy, which I find very helpful. Anyone had a good experience with Abilify that didn't blunt their emotions?

I'm taking 5 mg of Abilify. It doesn't blunt my emotions and has helped my depression. I probably need to go up on the dosage. I've had some pretty strong emotions panic wise the past few days. Best wishes....

Thanks Jennifer. That's good to hear. Are you at all concerned about tardive dyskinesia?

Also, is it common for people with depression and anxiety who are on SSRIs to need augmentation?

I take Abilfy along with my other antidepressant meds. It seems to help. My pdoc had lowered my dose recently but i had to go back to the original dose becauss i started to fel bad and irritable.

I take Abilify 10 mg to augment my antidepressant. It did help me with depression and anxiety but overall I don't think it blunts my emotions.
