Hi Rainee -
What were you taking Abilify for?
You say "again" - have you gone thru this before?You are not alone. Trying hard not to be depressed may not be all of the answer. Let's address your symptoms instead. Just from the list you posted, I would make a guess that you are feeling depressed. If it's gone on for a while, then you are Depressed!
I have been like that off and on for the last few years. I'm 40 and my diagnosis is PMDD (pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder) - depressed, angry, anxious, sad, even suicidal at times.
I've been on Lex for 4 months or so and I am getting better slowly but surely. Please tell your doc just what you've told us and see what he/she can do to help. There is no reason for you to continue on your own, without getting some additional help! There are ways to get over this! Keep us posted on your appointment, okay?
