I'd say that that may be a good idea, too.
My experience was that 2.5 mg was very stimulating, but 5 was sedating (very). I'm considering trying it again, and doing so either at 1.25 mg per day (if the 5 mg tabs aren't too small to split into fourths), or I had also considered trying 2.5 mg every other day.
Btw, I too, have dysthymia, and while I don't have ADD, I do have some ADD-like issues as well.
One other thing to keep in mind - I was adding the abilify to wellbutrin, and since they're metabolized the same way in the body, it made small doses more potent than they would have otherwise been. [that may not be relevant to your case, but I thought I ought to mention it just in case - for you as well as other readers]
If you try the very-low dose, or the every other day method, I'd be interested in hearing how that works out for you - if you don't mind posting that info here. Good luck.
Michael
