"my anxiety and then depression began about 4 months ago.  i didn&#039;t want to get out of bed, and had compulsive negative thoughts, no energy or motivation, and couldn&#039;t sleep, lost 20 pounds.  i was prescribed lexapro generic.  this med did almost nothing for 3 months.  within a week of adding abilify generic, most symptoms changed.  i feel much better, have appetite, better energy, appetite, optimism, more like me, and motivated to get out of bed when i wake up...which is great."
