> Abilify seems to have destabalized you, I would stay far away from it. Now you need to find some sort of medication to make up for what Abilify did. And if you're not bi-polar, stay even farther away from Lithium!Could you explain a bit more here? I dont get it -thought Lithium combined with an AD could keep one out of depressions long term? Are there any similarities w Abilify which is an anti-psycothic?
