> Scott, are you on it and is it for depression augmentation? (Mine is.)My ex-girlfriend is taking Abilify 30mg along with Seroquel and Wellbutrin. At this point, it would be difficult to guess how she might get along with a reduced dosage of Abilify. Her mixed-manias are severe, and her doctor cannot justify making any changes right now.
I take Abilify 20mg for the depressive phase of bipolar disorder. I don't have manic episodes unless a drug triggers them. Twice, I discontinued Abilify to see if I really needed it. Both times, I relapsed quite hard into depression, and consequently restarted the drug.
