It seems like the abilify might be working. I took 20 mg Wednesday night, and 5 mg the next morning. The half life is 75 hours so it would probably still be in my system. I woke up at 7 and left the house to run errands immediately. I thought it might have been the Remeron, because I tried 5 mg Abilify last Tuesday as well, along with 15 mg Remeron. I got hiccups from the Abilify so I stopped it and decided to wait till I'm used to Remeron. I had little energy bursts and better focus over the next few days but they went away. And now it seems it's returning. My mood is still crappy, but I have energy to walk and do things. Maybe I should ask my doctor to try 2.5 mg/day? The only thing is that the akathisia is scary as hell.
In terms of benzo's, it seems that they should have some sort of effect when I'm anxious, which is always. They don't do a thing when I try to face my social phobia, for instance. That's what makes me think it's not normal anxiety.
Also, I tried Buspar for 8 weeks, and didn't notice an effect.
