That's quite a combo you got in there. Besides "being still alive," how is that working out for you in terms of treating your depression? Are you able to socialize easily? Do you have energy to get out and get things done? Are you happy in general?
TO OP:
I tried abilify once, but stopped it after 3-5 days because I felt totally nauseous and sick. I didn't feel any good effects and the side effects were too much to bear at that point (I was going to school and was already doing poorly due to depression) so I could not make it even worse by adding nausea and headeaches to my already paralyzing depression. Never wished to try it again because of how sick I felt the first time.
But if you have a situation where you can tolerate the side-effects for a few days without screwing up your life, the best bet is to try it. Some side-effects diminish or disappear after a few days of tolerating, so it might be worth trying.
