> How have you been?

Pretty crummy. Things have not been going my way, but I'm still kicking.

> How's the Abilify working.

I think it still helps take the edge off of the suicidal ideation and catastrophic anxiety. It probably isn't as effective as Zyprexa in this regard, but it has been sufficient.

> That seemed to be the only thing that got me off my butt and doing things, but I kept obssessing about tardive dyskensia and stopped it.

Abilify doesn't seem to bind to the dopamine receptors located in those regions of the brain responsible for movement and TD.

> Now, I'm wondering, do I start an SSRI, Lamictal, Abilify or Emsam, ain't mental illness grand!

What are your primary symptoms? What have you responded to in the past? What was your response to Wellbutrin? Wellbutrin + Lamictal can be a very energizing combination.

> I'm the worst at starting something only to think something else may work better and switching!

I can totally relate.
