Experiences with

Abilify

Anyone ever had experience with abilify making them manic?

Anybody here on abilify? How do you do with it?

Has anyone ever taken Aripiprazole also known as Abilify? What were your side effects? And what’s your overall opinion on the medication?

I really need a boost so my doctor added 2mg of abilify but since it’s expensive, I don’t want to take a month’s worth and then have to go through withdrawals for nothing I’m worried about making myself worse and I’m already pretty bad off. Any advice would help a lot.

My psychiatrist gave me some options for mood stabilizers to get started including Lithium, Abilify, Letuda, or Lemotrigine. Does anyone take any of these? What have your experience been? Also, any advice for living successfully with Bipolar Disorder? Feeling bleak...

If I get off of the Abilify then I'm worried I will suffer mentally. This situation is really bugging me. Any advice????

Over the years, I have tried different medications and have now been taking Zoloft and Abilify for almost ten years now. My depression is mostly under control, but lately, my anxiety has been a real problem.

Success except for insomnia! I've been on every combo of drugs. Call me the energizer bunny! Feel like I just woke up from a 40 year coma!

Does anyone have any advice on starting Aripiprazole / Abilify 5mg. What are the initial side effects like and what medications should I ask my doctor for to ease the symptoms especially the increased anxiety, irritability and Insomnia?

I’ve made a list of the things I can remember trying (none of which significantly helped): MEDS Zoloft Cipralex Abilify Lamotrigine (rash) Paroxetine (vomiting, shaking, blood rush) Forgot the name (so drowsy couldn’t get up) Forgot the name (made me feel like shit) Lurasidone (tolerable nausea) Lithium

Do it make u gain weight? Or do the Prozac causes it?

I'm now on early days of Abilify and L-Theanine. Wondering if anyone had any experience with these. Thanks!

My doctor adjusted my medication and started me on Abilify, which has helped with the suicidal ideations. My dad is helping me find a reasonably affordable residential treatment center soon as well.

I believe my RLS started because I took Abilify for about 5 months for anxiety. These days I take 5mg Lexapro for depression and 50mg Seroquel for mood stability. These meds can cause or worsen RLS and Parkinson’s so I keep the doses very small. Still, it complicates things.

Has anyone else taken Aripiprazole( abilify) and did you notice a heavy tired feeling during the day when first starting? Hopefully it’s just my body getting used to it or maybe to high of a dosage. I know these questions are best fit for a professional, just seeking some friendly advice.

Hi, my son is on 5mg do any of u take it? If so do u like it and or should I be concerned about him taking them? Any info would help.

I'm not sure if it's the isolation and having nothing to do or if it's the abilify but I've been sleeping 12+ hours and staying up all night. I just started abilify about 2 weeks ago and I take 10mg every night around 9 and try to sleep at 11.

I have been on Venlafaxine, Lamotrigine, Bupropion, and Abilify for 13 years now. I would like to come off all my meds and see if maybe I don’t need them anymore. I know coming off them will be difficult and I need to do it slowly. Does anyone have any experiences or advice they can share?

My son was taking it he began to have an issue with his tongue, heavy tongue, so the Dr took him off of it.

I used to take abilify. I spent my whole savings and credit like water. Financially ruined. This happened to countless people who gambled their entire finances away and stole to support their gambling habit. Once they stopped taking the medicine, they stopped being compulsive, me included.
