Anyone have experience with abilify in combination with ADs, or by itself (or with benzos)?

I took it very briefly after a discontinuation with another AD, attempt that was very rocky. I had switched to Cymbalta, and with that, at a small dose, used the smallest dose of abilify. I experienced a fairly strong tightening of my neck, shoulder and head muslces, but it went away after a day or two. Somewhat akathesia-like. I didn't continue the abilify at that time..

Now I'm off cymbalta, and may try the emsam patch (or not--I'm not sure I want to try another maoi---) but was thinking of giving abilify a try. I had heard it was supposed to help you think more clearly. That was rumored soon after its introduction, so I wondered if it panned out.

Is it activating? does it cause weight gain? insomnia? My problem is anxiety leading to fatigue and deperession, with a tendency toward ruminating about or becoming intracticably disturbed about some ambiguous situation into which I project whatever aspects of myself I'm feeling least acceptaing of.

I think my mood and energy would improve and and be more stable, if I could at least keep sight of a clear path through the forest.

Anyone have any suggestions or help?
