> You noticed more activation on abilify at lower doses and that is consistent with the drug's usual behavior. It is generally more activating at lower doses and more numbing at higher doses.
I am beginning to see a trend for people with unipolar depression to be intolerant of dosages of Abilify above 5.0 mg/day. Anxiety, insomnia, and cognitive impairments are limiting side effects.I am bipolar IV. Personally, I do best at 10 mg/day, but I can tolerate 20 mg/day as well. I do find 20 mg to be somewhat numbing, and this is the reason why I reduced the dosage to 10 mg.
I do NOT find lower dosages of Abilify to be more activating than higher dosages. This might be a consequence of my having bipolar disorder rather than unipolar disorder.
