In reply to Abilify more or less activating at higher doses?, posted by theo on March 8, 2006, at 16:35:25
I've been wondering about this too.
My initial experience w. Abilify 2mg./day, was great relief from depression and some help with anxiety (DX'd Bipolar II/spectrum + Severe Generalized Social Phobia). After 2months I no longer felt any antidepressant effect, just felt "dulled". My doc' suggested going to 5mg./day, but this just made me "duller", so I stopped.
Now, I am on my 2nd try (after a year's break), but this time taking 2mg. Abilify every other day (in hopes of preventing Abilify poop-out). So far, in week 3, it is helping depression and anxiety greatly.
