Hi Scott,
I started at 5mg of abilify, and took this (along with 300mg of lamictal and 50mg of zoloft for about 6 months. I wasn't hopelessly depressed, but I was incredibly agitated (had to take klonopin everyday) and had a lot of suicidal ideation. I increased the dose to 10mg and felt calmer almost by the next day. It really helped a lot with intrusive thoughts that I get from traumatic past. Then I increased zoloft to 100mg, which helped with depressive symptoms, but I was still agitated and anxious.
It wasn't until I added 150mg of wellbutrin that my apathy and agitation went away. A nice 4 weeks of hypomania helped me transition to being a nice normal productive member of society.
I wish that I had started Abilify at 10mg, as maybe my agitation could have been managed without so much klonopin, (.5-1mg day). I believe that the klonopin contributed to my depressive symptoms.
