Sorry. I’m on aripiprazole too. I get a mensual injection (Abilify Maintena 400mg) and I take a pill of Abilify 10 mg every day.

I will be taking 15mg Abilify with either light therapy or vortioxetine i have a choice…
I decided to try light therapy first…
the reason she increased was because if i take the latter two i might end up with mania if i don’t have the mood stabiliser to help

lets not forget the tegretol i have on top ugh… so i chose light therapy so i don’t take too many meds.
the question is am i depressed, is it a vitamin deficiency or am i got a flu…
Yeah this is a wise decision by your psychiatrist.
Good luck @anon80629714.

furhtermore was under the impression that ability boosts the effects of antidepressants
I would be very careful with the antidepressant.
