Abilify has been consistently helpful to me in reducing depression. Unfortunately, the weight-gain is not becoming on me. It was my hope to be able to substitute for Abilify using Saphris. For now, I guess it makes sense to explore Saphris to determine its optimal effects before attempting to once again taper the Abilify. I get the feeling that I will need both drugs. Saphris seems to be rather benign, so I have no problem taking it, even when combined with Parnate and Abilify. It is a shame that I would have to take Abilify only for its DA partial agonist activity. However, this is preferable to not responding at all.
