"i was diagnosed with depression in 2000. my doctor at the time was a bit of a quack and had no idea of the symptoms and treatments for depression. moving forward, i have been seeing a very good doctor now for about 12 years. as you are well aware, not all meds for for all people. i am only writing this today in hopes of saving someone some time and frustration if abilify is not working for you. i started taking abilify as an enhancement to the wellbutrin that i was already taking. as time went on, my depression got worse. to make a long story short, i went off of abilify 3 months ago and life has been great. not sleeping all day or dragging my butt, thinking clearer and have endless amounts of energy. stay away from this med!"
