Hi Jaby.
I am currently taking 10mg of Abilify. Of the antipsychotics I have tried for depression (Risperdal, Zyprexa, Seroquel, Geodon), Abilify has produced the most noticeable improvement in depression. I am currently taking:
Abilify 10mg
Lamictal 200mg
imipramine 300mg
Lexapro 20mg
Provigil 200mg

When I was at 20mg of Abilify, I experienced akathisia and constipation. I discontinued it for a few weeks and restarted at 10mg. I am not experiencing these side effects now. This combination of drugs is producing only mild relief, but I'll take anything I can get. I plan to try adding amantadine in a few days.
Good luck.
