hey. thanks again for the responses. I think therapy will be helpful. I'm trying to get out a bit more (with limited success), and that helps.
The Abilify does cause some tranquilization, especially at 30mgs. The thing is, I only notice it once my agitation and anxiety are minimized. The Lamictal, even at 25mgs (I have 3 more days of the starter dose before its up to 50) seems to be having a bit of a mood-brightening effect on me. Once I'm at 200, the plan is to cut the Abilify to 15mgs, which will be good for me.
I guess I could try another SSRI. The Celexa wasn't terrible, and maybe if I take it with the lower dose of Abilify I won't be so numb. I don't know. I thought about Prozac, but that has drug-drug interactions with abilify (I don't know about Lamictal...) and it has a super long half life, so I'm concerned that if I have problems with it I might be suffering for a while.
Thanks again.
