> I agree completely about the psych hospital. It is a relief to get into an environment where you can focus on yourself and not hide your depression. Plus, you are with people who understand. Utopizen, may I ask how the abilify is working for you? And if not too personal, what was it prescribed for? My doctor prescribed Abilify along with my other meds, she said to keep me from becoming manic. However, I have read that it is quite activating.
>I may have bipolar, and my doc is going to try Risperdal or Lamictal down the road.
I take it for social anxiety and depression. I'm not sure if it's working or not, as I also started Remeron 15mg and Zoloft 50mg a couple of weeks ago. I'd like more relief from my depression, so I'm waiting on all 3 to work.
My doc said Abilify failed to help bipolar patients, and that Risperdal is good for it (it's also FDA approved for bipolar mania).
