abilify more depressed

I just began (3 days) with abiliby for negative symptoms. But I feel more depressed since I take it. Do you think I should carry on with it ?

My opinion, no.

The depression could be the after-effects of not taking Solian? Maybe? Hard to tell.

But if you can clearly point the finger at abilify, then I would stop it. Someone else would probably argue that it needs more time and should be continued. When a med starts off feeling either neutral or good, I would agree. But when it starts off making you worse very quickly, I disagree.

I've been looking for many months to find someone doing well on abilify monotherapy for depression and anxiety, but I just have not seen it. All of the good reports of abilify come from people that added it to ssris, especially lexapro. Don't know why. But as monotherapy, the reports are usually bad.

Solian is a tough act to follow.

What has happened in the past 3 days? Anything to make you feel worse?

I had a bad reaction to abilify. It started right away. I gave it 6 months, and the whole time I was slowly getting worse.
