>Are you gonna stay at 100mg of Lamictal? I think Abilify is more anxiolytic at higher doses, say from 15mg and up. Regarding Abilify's and Seroquel's side effects, have a look here:
http://www.psychresidentonline.com/atypical%20antipsychotics.htmI have essentially been on Remeron since -98 so it doesn't really sedate me much anymore. No increase in hunger except when it kicks in at bedtime, as long as I don't satisfy my hunger at that point there's no problem.
Btw, why did you switch to Abilify?
