Fluoxetine won't : start having an anti-depressant quickly enough for maintenance. You may need to go to an ER or Quick-Care to get at least a partial refill of Abilify (aripiprazole). Just explain your situation. When you see your psychiatrist, schedule timely follow-up visits.

It is important to find the correct combination of medications with your Psychiatrist. Have a physical exam to rule out illness. If you are not confident in your Dr. see another for a 2nd opinion. Medications are not sufficient since they do not teach you coping. Psychotherapy with a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy can help your medications to work better.
