I assume you have tried lots of other more common meds if you need something for just "plain" depression and anxiety. Exercise and therapy and deep breathing/meditation ...I assume you are doing those things, too. Abilify definitely increases anxiety if you are prone to it but it also helps with motivation. What other meds have you tried? What other non-medical therapies have you tried? Parnate is never a first drug and that increases anxiety in my experience. Have you tried just the Lamictal? That is usually for depressives with moodiness/mood swings. Does that sound like you? If not, it isn't the right med for you either.
