Thank you so much for your suggestions. My sense, too, is that I should decrease by tiny steps.
Increasing the Abilify is not in the cards. I'm interested in going off of it because of the weight gain (significant) and increase in blood sugar problems.
I don't know yet what I would like to do instead of the Abilify. I haven't raised the issue yet with my psychopharm (nurse practitioner). I'm feeling so hesitant about making a change just yet.
How nice it would be to find out there was something specific and identifiable that causes my depression. It's been with me so long, I doubt anyone could sort that out anyway. So I will go on with some form of med cocktail probably for the rest of my life.
