Welcome to the board. You are looking into a collectivey amazing group for med advice and support, with occasional moments of dysfunctionality as any individual/group would have...What dose of Abilify and Zoloft are you taking? How is it working for your symptoms?
I don't have BPD, though it runs in my family. I have Major Depression and anxiety disorder NOS.
I take Ablify for the anxiety and depression. The atypicals for me give these disorders a pretty good fast kick. I am also on other meds; I am doing well. Amazing that I can say that!!
It gives me very mild brain fog. I first was taking Geodon, but stopped due to bad brain fog. It seems like it is an individual thing--for some, it is the opposite, bran fog on Abilify, none on Geodon. If the brain fog does not lift with Abilify and it is bothersome, the Geodon is something to consider....
Zoloft was my first med, my depression got relief in about 4 weeks.

Neither seems to make me tired, Abilify is activating for me if anything.It sounds as though you are more in depression than mania?
