I don't think it does much for depression. Maybe some out there think otherwise. As for side effects, I had to up my anxiety med (klonipin) and take cogentin for restlessness. For example, if I want to read a book, I must set a time (say 20 minutes) to read because it causes akathesia...a desire to move about even when I don't desire to go anywhere. I also feel bloated when I take it. SAY....now that I think about it, it may help depression just because it is energizing. For example, when I didn't take it for awhile, I had no interest in reading and just wanted to sleep all the time. Abilify is definitely different than other anti-psychotics...they put me in a coma and pack the fat on. Also, Abilify ramped up my sex drive. The drug has some benefits but it isn't perfect.
