I'm having trouble with some side effects, but it's no worse than it was the first time. This makes me wonder if it's easier to recapture therapeutic effects of APs than ADs. Perhaps Ed or Scott or someone else will have some input on this.

Emme,Could you tell me your experiences with Abilify? Dosage, how long it took to work, how you felt before it and after it started to work? ANd what were the side effects? Did they get better over time? Did it help with anxiety? Were yo prescribed it to help augment an AD? Lots of questions, I know but I've been prescribed Abilify after failed trials of other APs and I'm a bit leery of it.
Thanks,
Marsha
