and it is making me feel AWFUL! I tried Lunesta, and it knocked me out the NEXT day....and I still woke at night. go figure. So saw pdoc today and am up to 15 mg abilify now. The good news is I dragged myself out to go out with a friend on SAT and I got a new tattoo (love it). I also have nearly completed a painting. I just wish I would sleep all night like a good girl.

Have you tried varying the time you take your Lunesta?

thanks guys.....guess what? I slept like 9 hours last night!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so 15mg of abilify seems to work. I have used Sonata in the past, and it eventually quit working for me. Plus, I'd like to keep my meds as few as possible. So, I am pleased!
