I am currently on Abilify 5mg. I was on 2mg but a week ago I got kicked up to 5mg. I feel like it helps a little bit but not very much. I am also on Cymbalta 60mg. I started at 30mg but it wasn't working so I was kicked up to 60mg. It works off and on for me. I have a lot more bad days then good ones that's for sure. I take 1mg Xanax at night to sleep but only once in a while. What's rosarum?I am here for you if you need to talk or need more advice. :)

are you talking about abilify? if so-- my doc wanted me to try it so i got 3 weeks worth to see. horrable!! all i could do was sleep.( not really such a bad thing though) i could not function i threw the rest away. although in between when i was awake they helped a lot.
