> What do you mean when you said the Abilify helps you be "less internally focused?"

Well I have a tendency to really scrutinize how I'm feeling especially when I'm in a depressive phase. I imagine a lot of somatic physical complaints (hypochondria). And either that process or in combo with what my pdoc now feels is my BPII affecting me (constant rushing thoughts I'm trying to process) is what I mean by "internally focused". Just a state of "hypervigilence". Not paranoia per say, just not calm and relaxed enough to let go and enjoy what's going on around me? Hope this makes sense!

> Also, did you move up to 5mg?

Not yet. I still had a half tab last night and I didn't want to "waste" it. Will take the whole 5mg tonight. Will let you know how it goes.

>I'm also down to about 20 pellets of Cymbalta on my discontinuation and will stop it completely after tonights dose, so I will be giving Abilify a true test by itself.

I too am working myself down off of the Cymbalta (divided a 30mg last night). My pdoc doesn't know that yet but he will Tuesday. I have never done well on anything that even remotely affects norepinephrine and I WILL NOT take this medication anymore! Spins me up too much and I don't need that on top of dealing with being newly re-Dx'd as BPII. I'm going back to Lexapro or maybe Zoloft one way or another. Why are you dc'ing the Cymbalta?
