In reply to Abilify - Low Dose (5mg) for Depression?, posted by awatts on April 13, 2004, at 14:25:03
> Abilify, an atypical antipsychotic, is being used also to treat depression. As I read around the Web, I often see it prescribed at less than the usual psychosis starting dose when used for depression. (10-30mg is used for psychosis)
>
> My doctor started me on 5mg of Abilify today to augment the 225mg of Effexor XR I'm taking.
>
> What experiences have any of you folks had with Abilify for depression? dosages? side effects? favorable results? alone, or with other drugs?
>not sure it helped with mood as much as motivation... EXCELLENT for motivation at 3.75 mg in my experience ..... (hard to tolerate at first though).... just wanted to keep doing things, be productive ....
added parnate for depression itself ...
YMMV .... and good luck bro
