> Actually, it would be great if it was both anxiolytic and activating, but those attributes are for me almost mutually exclusive.

I find a very low dose of Abilify (2.5 mg) does help with both anxiety and motivation. It can make me a bit logy energy-wise (not really sedated per se), but it does help with getting things done. I have a very low dose of a stimulant that I titrate carefully to help combat fatigue from the Abilify. I think with the right combination, you can combat both anxiety and apathy.

> The idea was to start at 5mg, or even 2.5mg, but the authorities only cover for 15mg and 30mg, hence the 7.5mg.

If you have the 15 mg tabs and a nice small pill splitter, you can cut into quarters and get 3.25 mg. I can cut 5 mg tabs into quarters. I don't know what's special about the binding agents they use, but Abilify doesn't crumble much when you cut it into tiny pieces.

Good luck.
