It's funny I choose to read your post because I was my psychiatrist to change my antidepressant. I have been on it since I was in my twenties. I am in my forties now. I see her in September.

Good news! I am still searching for a period of stability and some happiness. I've had bouts of depression for many years but in the past year, I have had a really tough time. I'm glad to hear that the Abilify is working for you. I think we all deserve love and happiness.

muskrattiger 07/22/2016

lavigne.......I am on four meds ..one for angizity .......the change came when I changed one med to abilify .....sometimes you need more than one or two meds in combination ...............and all meds don't work the same on everyone ..so you have to ...work with your doctor ..but I had a good phicitrist ..........and he did a good job ..better than a regular doctor ..could do ...........................................................................I can give you them if you still want them ...........................................thankyou pepperman .............................Mamie..........never give up .. there is always hope ..even when we can't see it .....and you are right we do all deserve love and happiness .....i will keep you in my prayers ..God bless .......
