I (31 m) was taking 5 mg Lexapro, 5 mg Abilify, and 600 mg Trileptal. Felt like an absolute zombie, couldn’t cry or really feel anything other than annoyed or agitated. 

Dropped the Lexapro and Abilify, tried to go off the Trileptal and felt too unstable so I kept taking it. Felt more energetic (the first week my leg was bobbing so bad I was shaking my desk) and just FELT. I’ve been crying a lot more. 

Last meeting I had with my psychiatry team, the person I talked with mentioned that Abilify might help bring my mood up. I didn’t think much about it until this past week. 

I spiraled three times in a couple of days - catastrophized everything with work until I broke down.

Decided to take the doc’s advice and add the Abilify (5 mg still) back and see where it goes. 

Anyone else taking something similar? Any advice? Feeling super lost and a little afraid of my own brain.
