> I find a very low dose of Abilify (2.5 mg) does help with both anxiety and motivation. It can make me a bit logy energy-wise (not really sedated per se), but it does help with getting things done. I have a very low dose of a stimulant that I titrate carefully to help combat fatigue from the Abilify. I think with the right combination, you can combat both anxiety and apathy.
May I ask what stimulant and what dosage?
> If you have the 15 mg tabs and a nice small pill splitter, you can cut into quarters and get 3.25 mg. I can cut 5 mg tabs into quarters. I don't know what's special about the binding agents they use, but Abilify doesn't crumble much when you cut it into tiny pieces.
3.75mg, right? Just kidding. I have a really good splitter but when I saw those ridiculously small pills I thought it would be a just a pile of crumbs, but no, nice halves every time. I'm not really sure what to do here, but I think I will stay at 7.5mg for awhile, actually got some things done today which was nice.
> Good luck.
Thanks. Good luck to you too.
