> Wow, you've got quite a cocktail. How is the Abilify working out?All I know is that when I try to discontinue Abilify, my depression gets worse. All of these drugs make a dent, but do not produce a true antidepressant effect. I receive a little more mental energy and avoid suicidal states - that's about it though. I do worse off drugs than on drugs. Right now, the Nardil is not doing nearly enough for me. I am very disappointed. It has only been a few weeks, though. Still, I am not encouraged by what I am currently feeling.
Abilify has produced significant weight-gain and possibly elevated my trigylcerides as has been measured in blood tests.
