I would have to disagree with you big time. I know many people who have augmented their antidepressant with a-typical antu-psychotics. I know people who are not bipolar to add lithium as an augmenter.

I think one should stay away from the LABEL of their actual disorder and focus more on what works. Seems to me that would be the best way to go about it.

Oh and all the mood stabilser including lithium were meant for seizure disorders. But they were used for bipolar and eventually recognised as a med for bipolar. Lamictal was only approved 2 weeks ago as a mood stabiliser but it has been used for a long time.

I say consider all options.

> My point is that Abilify is a medicine for the treatment of schizophrenia. If one is looking for something with a calming effect, I think there are more suitable medications.
