Has Anyone Tried Low-dose Aripiprazole (ABILIFY) For Depression?

A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭
Melbourne, AU

Aripiprazole, an atypical antipsychotic, has shown to improve treatment-resistant depression, when used in low doses (1)(2)(3). Has anyone had any experiences with it? Did it improve your motivation, libido, enjoyment of activities? Please state your dose.

What To Do With Dry Mouth, Tongue/mouth Movements Though Already Take Ingrezza

A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭
Crossville, TN

I experience BiPolar II. Had been stabilized for 20+ years on Abilify/Lamictal. TD progressed and Abilify was DCed 2 yrs ago. Increased Astuda lead to suicidal thoughts. Changed to Ingrezza. Recently (July) added Cymbalta (20 mg) due to increase depression though occasional hypomania. Now also added Prednisone (5mg) due to severe chronic cough issues. Dry mouth/tongue movements are back. Any suggestions?

Has Anyone Experienced Any Negative Side Effects From Taking Ability?

A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭
Reading, PA

Saw my doctor today. He added Abilify to take with the Wellbutrin and Celexa that I'm already on. Wondering what new side effects I'll be experiencing. I know they're trying to help me but I'm tired of being experimented on to see what works and what doesn't.
