here is the thread. So should I stop the Abilify if anhedonia/numbness is a primary symptom? that fact that it may make it worse scares me, as dos potential for weight loss, but I haven't taken it yet today and is much harder to get any work done. I need the motivation. It was motivating at 2mg so maybe i'll just lower it. my doc is going to want me to up it to give it a full trial, but won't if i tell her i have insomnia, which has actually abated on the 5mg. should i just lie and tell her i'm not sleeping so she doesn't pressure me to up the dosage? I'm so confused. Regardless, none of the dosages have cleared my cognitive problems.
