I think we started Abilify about the same time. It's had the opposite effect on me. I am nicer now than when I started it. My bit*hness is why the pdoc went that way as I'm already am on the max dose of Lamictal that my body will tolerate.
I think the insomnia is getting better...knock on wood. What I am missing right now is that I'm still somewhat tired feeling even with 400mg of Provigil and I can't get enthused about anything. I miss having something to look forward to.
I am going to a concert with my husband Monday. I am old and yes..I'm going to see Bob Seger. I am just indifferent. I should be excited to go as normally that would be a fun event. I know some meds can make you flat. I don't feel depressed, I'm not sad. I know
I need some kind of stimulant added back in for focus...Provigil isn't helping that. I need something else though. As much as I never got any help from anti depressants do you think a low dose of some kind of a/d might work?
I'm kind of back at my point of just wanting to be a mixed state bit*h and chucking all the meds out the window. I used to want to see my family, do things with my kids. I will now if dragged into it and then it is ok or enjoyable but I just don't make plans to do anything because I never know if I'll feel like doing them.
Ugh...sorry for the long post. There are no great answers, I know. I'm just wondering if maybe I shouldn't revist the antidepressants with maybe the Abilify chaser...
