been on 2mgs abilify for 12 days now feeling good havent heard any voices or seen things. im also on 100mgs lamictal but i dont know if its really necessary since abilify is a mood stabilizer apparently

“Aripiprazole can be effective in treating the acute manic episodes of bipolar disorder in adults, adolescents and children. However, its effect is only useful for the manic phases with little or no effect on the depressive phases. For this reason, aripiprazole is often used in conjunction with mood stabilizers”

im thinking about talking to pdoc about considering lowering or eliminating lamictal to see how i do. abilify kills 2 birds with one stone apparently . :thinking:

You say right there that Abilify is used “in conjunction with mood stabilizers” to treat the depression.
And lamictal is a mood stabilizer. So, you don’t want to eliminate the lamictal.

im hopeing the “little” effect on depressive phase is true heheheh

Abilify has little or no effect on depression. Not lamictal.

like im hopeing that the little effect that abilify does have on depression is enough to keep me stable or borderline well
