You're right, but I like to be as politically sensitive as I can; my pdoc is good and will probably call me back tonite and say go ahead with the abilify. Prozac helped me greatly, in fact so great that I was pushed into a hypomanic, possibly manic episode on 60 mg. I loved Prozac and it helped all the anxiety, OCD and depression as well as the IBS, but it is clear that I can't take such a high dose; also after about 4 months it does produce apathy and weight gain (at least in my case!)Also, Prozac, even at its best, MASKED problems for me, so it was almost if I didn't care about anyone else's problems; abilify, on the other hand, didn't mask problems, just helped me cope with them.
