I take the two together, with good results.

It's hard for me to get up and brush my teeth, to clean (ha, i haven't cleaned in months). So I am wondering which would work best for me.... Abilify or Lamictal?Sounds like you're a good candidate for Abilify.
I am absurdly sensitive to side effects and I tolerate Abilify well. You might even be able to get away with 2.5 mg every other day since it has a long half life. Good luck.
