I reported to my psychiatrist last Friday that some depression symptoms were not acceptable. I was having too much difficulty getting out of bed and starting my day. She said Abilify can sometimes make people groggy and get the "stuckness" feeling.
So, we decided reducing the Abilify was worth trying. I was skeptical at first since Abilify was the last drug I added to my medication regime back in October 2010. It was added at that time to curb an oncoming depression episode. I do remember it helping some at the time.
With the current adjustment my new medication cocktail is: Morning - 450 mg Wellbutrin, 60 mg Cymbalta; Evening - 15 mg Abilify, 300 mg Lamictal, and 60 mg Cymbalta. I also take a multivitamin and 300 mg of omega 3 from a fish oil capsule. I'm glad the fish oil is in a capsule because it tastes pretty nasty. Is this stuff the extract of fish guts or what?
I hope your new medication treatment works well for you. It sounds like your doctor is doing a great job of treating you.
