I'm about to go on Zoloft at 25mg this Monday, then upping it to 50mg the next Monday. I've gone on Abilify, and have been at 30mg for 2 weeks now and plan to keep going with it. The initial side effects, like anxiety, have dissipated now.
Anyone on this combo? Docs seem to like SSRIs+Antipsychotics since the two appear to have a synergistic effect. They both help similiar receptors, so they sort help kickstart one another when either one is not responding...
I'm also taking Remeron at 15mg. I'd like to knock off the Remeron in 3 months or so after I hopefully get out of this depressive rut that's sort of taken its toll on me and I surprisingly was aversive to treating it with an antidepressant or antipschotic for several months....
I have depresion, social anxiety, and ADD.

In reply to Abiliy+Zoloft--?anyone on this too for dep/soc anx, posted by utopizen on June 25, 2004, at 15:25:36
Hey there.
Not to answer a question with a question, but can you tell me more about your Abilify experience?
I worked oh so slowly up to 10 mg, and on the second or third day started getting this unpleasant anxious but also flat feeling. Dropped back a little with no improvement so took a couple of days off altogether and am now starting again. Did the anxiety you experienced feel at all like that, and how long did it take for it to dissipate?
