Phillipa, you should know that one med works differently for each person that is why you cannot take everyone's experience and apply it directly to your own. That is the dilemma with psych meds and the most obvious deficiency in treatment in a standard way.
So Abilify for 50% might be energizing, 25% may have no response (me) and 25% may have solmnolence. No way to know who will have what effect so trial and error is the norm for many of us with depression, anxiety or whatever your Dx is.
The treatment for these conditions is very random.
It doesn't matter who treats you either. The Yale expert said "I don't know what to try next with you"...is my situation so different than others with depression? I don't really think so but docs don't know where to begin when someone has tried just about everything.Oh well, that is why I have to offer suggestions to them and thank God this time it worked! They do not have all of the answers and a good pdoc will admit this, like mine.
