Let's see...

stimulants (like coffee) went down after starting the Abilify?No, in fact I drank more tea at the higher doses because I felt stupified and tired.

I felt emotionally blunted--I'm not sure the correct term--is that like flattened affect? I was unable to think of things to say in conversation (different than my social anxiety). I just felt like a lump-lump. Also, my depressive symptoms increased--lots of weeping epidoses. These became evident at the higher doses. Oh, and I began to eat like a horse--or should I say I felt I could eat a horse?
> What mood stabilizer are you currently on?I'm not on one. My dx has changed to MDD, though I do take klonopin which has mild stabilizing properties.
> Sorry to probe you like that! I really appreciate the info. Thanks.No problem at all--I do it all the time (probe that is). Glad to help.
I hope some others with the same dx as you weigh in soon. Many people here use Abilify successfully. (Though your tremors don't sound so good.)
