Hi Roland.Yes, Abilify afforded me an increase in motivation and sociability. It also takes the edge off anxiety which helps me stay away from suicidal ideation. The effect for me is at best mild, but I guess I have to do what I can. It did have an antidepressant effect in the beginning for me. Remember how resistant my depression is to treatment. If Abilify is minimally helpful for me, it is probably very effective for others.
I did experience a sort of anxiety and impatience in the beginning. I guess some might call it mild akathisia. It did pass within a few months, and I do not experience any vestige of it. It is pretty much transparent right now. No side effects.
