Scott,
Are you currently taking Abilify? My doc gave me a scrip I filled for 5mg tablets and wants me to start low at 2.5mg.
I've been off Cymbalta about 2 weeks now and feeling MUCH better. I didn't realize how much that med was dragging me down.
Anyway, I've never tried a med like Abilify and am scared! Should one worry about permanent tardive dyskinesia with this med?? Also, is this med quick acting or like an SSRI, where it takes up to 4 weeks to feel any effects to know if it's going to work at all for you? I don't even know what this med does and how it works? Does it increase dopamine? How does it work?
My symptoms remain the same, mild low grade depression and feeling of doom, always feeling ineffective and not as good as others, even with therapy and AA meetings (been sober 2 1/2 years). Also I believe I have some underlying ADD.
