Thanks for all the information. After reading everything you said, I'm definitely going push my p-doc to give it a try. SSRIs and friends just dont seem to do anything for me; Ive talken prozac, paxil, effexor, wellbutrin, lamictal and now I've given remeron a try- but since I'm not Bipolar a Dr doesnt seem to be able to look past the usual medication paradigm and mention possibly adding an atypical antipsychotic. I've been so miserably depressed for so long, I'll try anything- if something works but makes me fat and diabetic, that still sounds better than living the rest of my life like this.
I'm curious, but are you on the abilify at present? and if not, were you able to go off it and the depression not come back?
