Personally, I don't think 2.5mg is enough to adequately evaluate Abilify for depression. 5.0mg would be better. If the 5.0mg works, you can always attempt to reduce it. You should know in a couple of weeks what this drug is going to do for you. Be prepared for some anxiety, insomnia, or mild to moderate akathisia to appear in the first week as a startup side effect. It usually disappears.
