i've read alot of success stories here about abilify for depression, i know it is a dopamine agonist on certain sectors of dopamine synapses, but i have noticed with lamotragine does have some antidepressant effect, and olanzipine with prozac has worked, olanzipine usally lowers nuerotransmitter levels espcially serotonin and dopamine, but i've noticed it's signifcant effect to calm, and bring you back to earth during a manic phase, it work directly......puts out the fire in the mind when your manic......and you would think by doing that it would make you depressed because of it's blocking of serotonin and dopamine, but it does have a small antidepressant effect, but it's sedating, makes you want to sleep during the day, but the depression is lowered. It makes things seem passive, and slowed down
usally i take 20mg zyprexa at night, with 200mg lamotragine, sometimes 300, it depends, but that combination is a reinforcing mood stablization, olanzipine is calming and will put out the fire, lamotragine is more of a stablizer
but what about abilify? anyone have their persona expericies with it on how it makes you depression go away? maybe ill ask to switch, but i've been on zyprexa a long time, if i go off it would have to adjust
anything on abilify on mood?
