Ambilify Question

[freefallingsj]

I live with major dpression/anxiety and am currently on Wellbutrin XL 400mg, Cymbalta 90 mg, Lexapro 10 mg, Repridal 10 mg and Xanax 3 mg and a couple of other non related meds.  My doctor is trying to raise my energy level and simplify my meds.  W ould ambilify  help with energy?  These seem like alot of meds to me,( my fomer doctor kept adding them as the depression did not get better).  I am stable now but feel neither here nor there sort of emotionless.  Any input would be appreciated.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Rather than add another medication, you and your doctor might start substracting them, getting down to one good one that works...that in itself might solve your energy problem.

Abilify is like a wonder drug. It has helped me so much with hallucinations/dillusions/ I dont have a diagnosis yet, just symptoms. It could be aggitated depression. Abilify makes me feel like ME again. Hope that helped.

It seems like a lot of medication to me too.  It's amazing how quickly meds can amass though.
It's normal (I think) to augment if there's only a partial response.

I don't know if Ambilify would help with energy levels.  It's a bit of a paradox.

The medication could be responsible for the apathy.

It sounds like your doctor is really working hard to help you.

I'm sorry I couldn't offer any constructive advice.
