So I am feeling much better...I got pretty low there for a while.  My shrink had taken me off Abilify because it can cause weight gain and I went down hill.  I am back on it and feeling much better. 

Also I have a job interview on Thursday for a psych job-I decided med/surg is not for me at this time although I gave it a good try.  It probably says something about me that I feel much more comfortable around mentally ill people than regular folks.

glad you are back on track.  Hopefully the work move will help too.  I work with adults with IDD and would rather do that than be around sick folks.  Hummmmm

 I take a 5 mg Abilify kicker with my Cymbalta for GAD and depression.  It made all the difference in the world!

Good luck with the job interview!

I take cymbalta and Welbutrin.   I had a really low time 2 years ago and was given Abilify.  I only take 4mg.  My psychiatrist took me off of it and I thought I was fine.  It took a good 6 weeks but it came back to bite me in the butt.  Now that I am back on it, I feel so much better.

Thanks for the good luck wishes!

MacBoy was on that along with Wellbutrin but his current shrink took him off for some reason.
