netsavy006 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I've heard of Abilify being used with antidepressants for depression but because of the bipolar/mania risk, I can no longer take antidepressants, but Abilify I am currently on 5mg. How good is Abilify alone for depression? Does anyone here take Abilify by itself for depression? How does it work for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meg Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 haha...I was just over at crazymeds grabbing some links from the board that discuss this if you hadn't been there-- but then I realized you've posted there before, lol, so I'll spare you the links. check back on your old topics there if you haven't recently and poke around for new ones? wish I could help, luck, m ps- have you searched places like pubmed for studies/articles? they can be pretty dense but there's pretty reliable info over there if you're willing to do some looking.

andrea3821 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I just came off 4mg of Abilify b/c of going hypo and having akathisia and increased anxiety. I was only on that, Ambien for sleep and Ativan PRN for anxiety/sleep. It wasn't a good drug for me. I'm on Depakote now and I like it much better so far.
