I am also an agoraphobic (I try not to go out of my house).
I'm already taking Xanax, Verapamil (not for blood pressure-my Doc seems to think it helps with my disorders) Effexor ER (450mg/day) and trazadone. I had a tragedy in my family (a 10 year tragedy.) I'm still severely depressed but I'm truly afraid of adding this med. I'd love input, either good or bad, from others taking Abilify as an adjunct med for depression.
I have refractory panic disorder, Major Depressive Disorder?

Before I begin I want to remind you that not everyone responds the same to different meds. I unfortunately had a very bad experience with Abilify. I became very very suicidal which is one of the warnings of it and I ended up in the hospital for abservation until it wore off I didn't try anything but I was in very much danger of doing so. I am sensitive to alot of these newer drugs they have out so wait and see what others have to say as well. It sounds like you hav your hands full here and I wish you the best. I have several disorders as well so I know where you are with this and it is not easy the only one I don't have experience with is the agoraphobia but I have severe anxiety and panic issues due to trauma/PTSD and major depressive disorder I was on Paxil and Ativan and that helped me a great deal until they changed me to Cymbalta for fibromyalgia.
