nothing has seemed to reactivate the lamictal yet, however, it does continue to act as a mood stabilizer and prevent me from severe downward spirals. Yet my memory/cognitive and anhedonia issues remain (i even had trouble syncing my ipod this morning!) and i feel like i'm not "present" if that makes any sense. however my word retrieval and writing skills have improved marginally. I've only been on 5mg abilify for a week so i suppose i need to give it more time. at one point, my prozac worked as the 20 mg was washing out of my system, so there does seem to be a therapeutic window. 2 weeks ago i went from 20mg to 10 mg, so maybe i'll reach the therapeutic window at 10mg, and if not, i'll probably reduce it more. As usual, i tend to feel best in the morning and deteriorate as the day progresses, which is consistent with my atypical depression. i can no longer sleep as an escape on the abilify so my daytime naps are a thing of the past, which i suppose is a good thing, but i miss the breaks from obsessing over my depression and overthinking my medication issues, and sleep is the only way to get any relief from it.
