I am so glad with your sucess!! Great that you feel motivation. Isn't it nice?
I too am on low dose Abilify for depression/anxiety, and with each day I see that it may be doing more than the antidepressives. I could use a little more motivation, but the relief from anxiety paralysis certainly has me doing things again. Tha is what may anxiety does--i am either paralyzed in my worst moments, or run from stress. The best I could do was "feel the fear and do it anyways." Though not out of that, I am much better.
I wish you continued success!
(Oh--just as a forewarning, just in case!! after about a week I developed some dystonia--sort of a twitch of my head... But this subsided after another week or so. So just to say--if any odd side effects develop at this point-dont worry too much, they could abate.)
