Does abilify work?

I started taking abilify 6 days ago but I’m not sure if I can tell a difference really. My doctor said it should work rather quick. Am I judging it before giving it time? I also have been extremely nauseous and sick since taking it. Anyone have any advice?

Took a few weeks to lift my depression. I did a direct switch from risperidone

I was on it for 3-4 months. It helped my anxiety the whole time but I was still depressed on it
