> Thanks, everyone, for taking an interest in my well-being. I can assure all of you that I'm not in denial or looking to land in a mental hospital; I'm just trying to figure out how to function without turning into a tranquilized zombie.

That is perfectly understandable. I can commiserate. I, too, would want to discontinue Abilify were I able to. I would consider taking 20 mg as your first loading dose, and 10 mg thereafter. I hope your experience is similar to mine. 20 mg caused me to become somewhat zombified (nice nomenclature we devise here). At 10 mg, I retain the antidepressant benefit, but without cognitive blunting. Let's hope that, for you, this is true of the AP effects as well.
