"i`ve dealt with profound depression most of my adult life. i`ve gone the gamut of most antidepressants with varying degrees of success. most, even the very useful, usually lose potency after a few yearsl out of desperation, my physician prescribed a small dose of  2 mg of abilify in conjunction with wellbutrin. within a few days, my energy levels skyrocketed and my mood greatly improved. even though i`m concerned about the many side effects, i plan on staying with it while it still helps."
