However, this antidepressant response lasted for no longer than three days. I was surprised that it returned two weeks later. Unfortunately, after another three days, I relapsed and quit taking Valdoxan, perhaps prematurely. I have since added Abilify and am receiving significant from it. I am very seriously thinking about re-trialing Valdoxan, now that Abilify is onboard and the terrain of my brain has changed.

Thanks Scott very interesting. Perhapse all it did for you was normalise your sleep and thats all? It is also said that 25mg is NOT actually the reall dose for best theraputic responce, yet many docs stop at 25mg. 50 sounds more like it. Did you go to 50mg?
And personally, if all it does do is normalise my sleep patterns, then thats a big bonus for myself.
I'll keep Abilify in mind too. May I ask, whats you diagnosis(s) and what does the Abilify help with specifically? Thanx.med
