I take Abilify primarily for anxiety. It helps quite a bit. I am only on 2.5mg/day, but I take it with meds that increase the blood levels of Abilify, so the equivalent is probably more.
This amount has not helped with motivation directly, however keepng me out of anxiety paralysis helps getting things done. It also seems to jump-start me out of depression quite effectively, within days. I know there are some people on this board that object to using antipsychotics for depression/anxiety due to more serious consequences of use, but for me it does wonders. In addition, if one were to look at the withdrawal board and see the suffering, you have to wonder how much "safer" SSRIs are....When I was on Geodon for similar reasons, it did help me with motivation quite a bit. Couldnt handle the spaciness theough.
I wish you good luck.
