In reply to Starting Abilify tomorrow. Lots of questions..., posted by kittencat on May 8, 2004, at 1:30:45

Hi kittencat,

I'm currenly taking 10 mg Lexapro and 3.75 mg Abilify. (yes it is hard cutting them up!) Been doing so for the past 6 months and am taking it for severe depression. 3.75mg is what I started at and it is what I've stayed at. It's a powerful drug. I think 15mg would have me literally flying around.

The Abilify has made a huge difference for me, even at that small dosage. I have gained weight however. What the Abilify does is makes me crave food. I'll get a certain food item into my head and then I just gotta have it. I think this has to do with reduced impulse control. So, if you are a controled person and exercise regularly, you probably won't have a problem. The Abilify is engergizing for me and has made a world of difference with my depression, despite the weight gain. That's just my 2c.

Write back and let us know how you are doing.
