I tried to check the archives first
My friend has been taking Prozac for a number of years. Recently he become more depressed than he had been since he started medications about 20 years ago. His doctor started him on Ability with it. I do not know the dose although I did email him asking. He wanted to know "my" opinion about this combination.He has never talked about his symptoms to me but I am very aware of extrene social anxiety and his affect is very flat.

Abilify messed me up too. They may want too stop taking it, and maybe try some thing else

I don't know what dose he is on as he said 1/2 a pill but not what the dose was. He asks me advice but is so not wanting to be involved. I understand though he is trying to live life and not think about the depression.
Anyway I am very depressed myself and long winded!
In what way did it mess you up and what was the dose? What other meds were you on at the time if any? I am thinking of trying it myself. So I have an interest beyond asking for him.
Thanks,
oky

I took 1mg-15mg, many different combinations. It made anxiety realy bad, couldn't sleep, and did nothing for scitzoaffective disorder. Coming off it was even worse. The zyprexa didn't work when I went back to it. Thankfully its working now, again. I belive I was taking nothing more than an AD when I took abilify, celexa, and maybe wellbutrin sr. I lost my job taking abilify for 6 months. I've been off it now for 3 years and just now getting better. Still no job though. I messed up realy bad at that job. I thought people were taking about me, maybe they were maybe it was all in my head. I got realy mad and about the people putting me down and talking behind my back, and saying things to my face. Like he's a loose canon. I was so mad I wanted to start throwing things around. Instead I went home and had a drink. For a while it was realy hard to go in there every day. When I went back on Monday they fired me.
