Hi Scott,
Sorry to hear about your decline in mood. I'm in the same boat with Zyprexa but have no other choices at the moment.
I keep telling myself it is a fair trade-off (weight gain) for the mood enhancement. I also try and remain optimistic in that our options will broaden with the discovery of newer, user friendly drugs coming down the pipeline?This time of year (Thanksgiving/Christmas/winter blues) seems to challenge my ability to remain optimistic, but I keep telling myself it's temporary! Hang in there my friend, you will overcome your temporary setback. If you need the Abilify then so be it, nothing to be down about.
All the best,
Rick
