"i suffered from extreme depression a year ago, months on end. i tried everything and was on the verge of requesting hospitalization. i took every medicine out there and then my doctor prescribed 2mg of ability to augment the remeron i was on. in 1 day the nightmare was over. 1 day after months of such severe anguish that i wanted out! today i ran into a pharmacist from my pharmacy while out and about. she told me that her customers that are starting abilify are reporting that their life is changed, etc. i see from the posts here that not everyone has a life changing experience but i can tell you it was a lifesaver for me. if you are at your wits end try this as an adjunct to your current medicine. it might be the ticket out of your suffering."
