"i have had emotional disorders all my life.  i am 48 years old.  i&#039;ve always been taking something most of my adult life.  i recently went off lithium (after 2 years of 900 mg/day) and was put on abilify.  wow.  it&#039;s only been 3-4 days of taking it and i can tell a big difference.  taking 1/2 10 mg for 2 weeks then the whole 10 mg after that.  i also take prozac 40 mg/day.  thyroid medicines, blood pressure medicines and 2 mg clonazepam to sleep.  i am surprised this abilify has put energy in me so quick.
