on only Abilify

[amy767]

Hi
I was diagnosed with depression with psychotic features, not any bipolar dx.
Anyway I was on Prozac with Wellbutrin, then had a relapse and they took me off both and started me on Abilfy only. Is this a normal procedure or should I also be on some low dose antidepressant in your opinion ? Thank you very much for your time.

You may also want to post this question under the "Ask a Doctor" section for the psychiatrist, Dr. Gould, to answer.
There's also a great guy under Anxiety section - Ryan - who is extremely knowledgeable and might offer you some additional help.
Good luck with finding the right medication...

Hi,

I am currently on prozac and abilify for my depression and anxiety.
My pdoc originally gave me the abilify to help with anxiety but it
has helped tremendously with my depression too.  I still think in
my case I need the prozac but the abilify has definitely helped.

best wishes,
