Hi Bob.

Happy New Year.

> You mentioned awhile back about using CBT for rumination problems

I don't know how much CBT helps for ruminations. CBT is good at reducing old patterns of negative thinking. It also helps to serve as a counterweight to neutralize the negative thoughts and feelings generated by a depressed brain. It requires constant reality checking. It becomes a good habit after awhile, but it does take practice.

> Also, have you had any lasting side effects from Abilify?

Weight gain - 50 pounds worth. Abilify doesn't start out producing weight gain immediately. It is latent and insidious. It just doesn't seem to reach a plateau. I really didn't watch what I ate as I gained the weight. It took a few years to gain the weight. I think if I had been aware of this being a side-effect, I would have changed my eating habits proactively.
