I have mild Tourette's syndrome and Abilify has been wonderful. You can barely tell anything is wrong with me anymore.
Can you share your experience in mild tics.
I also have them
Abilify works very well for my bipolar disorder.
heres a better question....WHY THE FUCK ARE SO MANY PEOPLE DEPRESSED AND WHY DON'T WE FIX THAT
intresting point of view. I think that simply we have no idea of how the health works, because it is not profitable. The hollistic medicine promises solutions but it seems that everyone is not ready for that, specially if there is few knowledge and aprooval available.
Yeah, its Rich WHITE MEN.... everything is their fault right? grow up but like your screen name I doubt you ever will. "Assbitchfucky". Pathetic...
People throughout history have always had severe depression issues. The remedy in the past was simply suicide, or just live a miserable life.
We need as much of teachers-of-morals as possible! Be a teacher.
AI WILL SOLVE THIS PROBLEM
I have been on abilify because of schizophrenia. It helped me...
are u still on it?
Did it got rid of the voices?
Do this make you to sleep a lot??
@@elenamrn295 yes dear.. I love u dear
@@gururajugururaju6255 haha
It works differently for everyone
Abilify has wrecked my brain i discontinued the drug and still don't feel like myself. This is awful
VINNY5674 I’m sorry to hear that. I am in the same boat as you. I still don’t feel like myself after taking antipsychotic medication for depression. How long were you on abilify and at what dose? Good luck

I was on 400mgs a month of the Injectable version for 2 months. It made made so sick. First to start i couldn't stay still than i didn't feel like myself after that it threw me into a deep depression which i have been battling for the last couple of months.
Abilify is a poison! I lost my job because I develop akathisia, the worst feeling ever!
I looked up the side affects. I feel like I belong in a fucking psych ward.
VINNY5674 Was
Akathisia is torture and should be considered as "cruel and unusual punishment!"
I'm glad I stopped this shit medicine

If we cut the antipsychotic "Abilify" 10mg (pink color) into half, will it be the same as the 5mg (blue color)?
Does anybody else on ability feel like they’re creativity and will to live is gone?
That is the case with most of the psychoactive drugs. Try talking to your doctor about it. Sometimes decreasing the dose helps, other times you need to switch to some other drug.
Did you stop?
I take Aripiprazole (AKA Abilify), and I have DEFINITELY experienced weight gain: over 20 lbs, which has seen a significant change in my body shape, and has got me down. It has also caused a rise in my, (or at least, affected) my cholesterol levels, (which obviously isn't a good thing). The doctors have now put my Statins up, which is also not a good thing! Aripiprazole is being used to treat my Schizoaffective Disorder (NOT depression, which I also suffered from for donkey's years, as well as bipolar disorder). I would love to hear more insights from you on this particular drug.
Abilify is amazing.
curious when i will feel anything after starting
Does dopamine still work with abilify
Why are the results so variable?
i have no side effects actually
Kweenieman pay attention, if in time you have teeth-loss (roots dying off).
Is dat nog steeds zo?
@@AmadeuShinChan Is that even possible tho?
@@aleksabajic2221 [ my current's girlfriend's mom killed herself with "poison". Now who defines what is a poison and what is not? What of people with self-interest make those definitions and we have a saying in german : the dose makes the poison. I gained about 10 kilograms in one month of taking abilify and my constitution never became the same as before (my guts suffered and the guts are the continuation of the digestion, that begins with the mouth). One side-effect of abilify (very rare but still): "sudden unexplicable death", which sounds like: if I have I choice, why should I take it? So... please doctors in the world: give your patients a choice stead of forcing them to swallow, whatever you push them to (into them). ]
Abilify is Crap, thought i was gonna Die!!!!
I was on this awhile ago and put back on it but I'm not going to
Does anyone have memory loss from it
I take a loe dose 5 milligram. Seemed to really help with my bipolar episodes. I'm also not as "nutty" as i used to be not even close.
Before I say what I want to say, no I am not someone hired by Otsuka America or BMS to talk about how good Abilify is, I'm not a healthcare professional, and I am not being paid to take it. I am a real patient with bipolar disorder type 1 with psychotic feature, who has had great success with Abilify. I have had some side effects of it, but none of the major or serious ones you hear about. If anything, I have lost weight on Abilify that I have gained from other antipsychotics. I will say this though, there is no such thing as a magic pill. I still have a very long way to go until I am i remission from bipolar disorder, but I am better now than I was years ago, and part of that is help from the Abilify.
I have borderline disorder and the 6.5 month period of being on this medication was horrible. I drank less than 2.5mg in combination with lorazepam once a day. I had the impression that I was constantly in a state of increased stress, my vision was blurry and I could not sit still in the same place. I also had involuntary limb twitching. I have seen that it is even given to children to calm their irritability, and that many people praise this remedy. I am confused. The positive thing is that you don't have a problem with willpower. I did a bunch of work for that period and was "functional"
Helps incredibly with social anxiety/phobia
She forgot blurred vision
It keep me calm I suffer from panic attacks disorder for years n moody disorders I take it at night oh I could sleep very good I don't mix it with the xana because my panic attack is crazy I felt like I'm going crazy since I started this medication Abilify I be able to sleep at night very good medication got 4 month taking it it keep me calm because I got moody disorder too so far is pretty good med now I take it once in a while n I'm doing okay so far cus I'm diabetes n I'm disabled cus of chronic back n neck pain this med relax my mind still got the crazy chronic pain but it keep me calm n a little happy again like I was I was tripping for a while until my doctor notice it my behavior I was piss off every day n not feeling happy at all I tried to kill myself on 2008 cus of my panic attacks I didn't know what was wrong with me until I was diagnosed I'm doing pretty good so far I needed that little help I was having crazy dream too I could not sleep for days now need to take care of this chronic back pain is so server no joke at all I have disc generation disc desease 4 disc in my lower back n 2 in my neck n diabetes nerve pain I'm lucky to be alive still 🙏 life is not so easy when you can't do what you use to do stuck in bed with pain noing there is some medication that work for that pain but is dangerous n some people abuse them to get hight n those who need it we have to pay the price is not fair we got the right to keep on living life is beautiful until the lord call for us 🙏 I have to buy my chronic pain med other ground is ashame no doctor want to help me hafter they put me on those heavy drugs to control my server chronic pain
This abilify makes me chronically depressed. It makes me overly tired impaired ,fat and unmotivated. Any spirituality or creative mental inspiration is out the window on this medicine. I feel horrible. My muscles cramp and I cannot excersise. I tried antidepressants but they make me so depressed I am border line suicidal with amnesia on them. I get rashes and can't breath on them either. I never knew what real depression was until abilify.
CBD is better
What product are you using?
Frank Lopez CBD doesn’t have THC moron
Selectcbd.com good product
Absolutely 💯
I got my drugs... lookin at these pills like please oh please save me from myself... "may cause agitation" wtf I'm agitated enough D: someone tell me it's not as bad as it sounds
will I just be myself without the voices and delusions?
Have you tried tho?
Are you still on it? I'm terrified to take this 😫 😭 😩 10 mgs today but I'm scared 😱 to take it
@@lindacarol5982 No. I take seroquel, much much better and helps me sleep.
@@alegotronnortogela7695 well I'm happy for you. I don't think I'll take anything else after trying to quit prestiq after almost 3 months. Psychotic episodes coming down and I'm still having to take it but it gives me the tremors and worsened anxiety feel hyped up like on amphetamines. But, coming down is too hard psychologically
my son has been on abilify for high function autism..since age 8.I refused to ever increase his dosage. I want him off. He is almost 18.I have request him go through detox as abilify, I have read creates terrible withdraw. I am no doctor, so I should not be messing with my sons dosage in home. The insurance is denying any type of detox. He has side effects and metabolic issues proven from labs. Ins. states they will only detox if this is a 'overdose' so you will save a purposeful O.D. and not a child who has been on long term medication -that is most likely not effective an hurting his full ability to live ?
I feel so strong about this case, I am fed up and asking for help .
I have contacted attorneys, I don't feel I should have to pay a retainer fee with a case as this.
this is what DOLLARS FOR DOCS AND BIG PHARMA WORLD is. Give you a 15 min consult..and here is your script..now get out.
welcome to healthcare.
Karen S. Sorry for your trouble. Contact me, i wanna help. Got off of abilify after only 1 month horrible experience based on an initial coercive force-medication...
Never fully recovered, lost two teeth.
Use a product called: preb by dr. Kushi... also lookup: Dr Sebi. Natural healers.

Abilify worked wonders for me.
That's the catch to EVERY Psychotic, it's a universal thing an too over prescribed, my girlfriend was perscribed invega NOW this medication, I wish the hospital would make up there mind
Like?
This painfully scripted cringy reading is literally painful. Just talk for real. Gah i cant stand to watch this
Causes permanent movement disorders, Parkinsonism and Tardive Dyskinesia, Akithisia. Horrible medication!
SU ROBOTTI, please don't kill us all.
Abilify doesn't work!
It's only a powerful straitjacket!!!!
And I take Abilify Maintena
They are mad as hell. They must be ELIMINATED. No, seriously. They must dont give to us Abilify. Is bad for me. But for others maybe well. Ok for them.
And the drug company's make money .... etc ....
I doubt people ask for these drugs. Liars
My idea and what I tell people is this .If you feel bad and think you need medication ,maybe you do?However I advise you take a good look at who you are hanging around with what your local society is like what your country is like and eventually what the world is like ,for you. As far as suicidal thoughts ??? errrr I know why because you can feel so good or just a little better than the hell you been in ,you go and do what you want .Abilify wrecked my life and made me a successful professional. Know your product?
This med is not good for me. Hope there is something different I can take.
Abilify is on the verge of destroying my life. Please get me out
@mat denis I can’t I’m on the max dose 400 mg long acting shot my next shot is actually next week I’m stuck on it for so many reasons . Community treatment order , and my body is so use to it bow
Drugs...... Gg
Abilify is awful, I'm stuck on it like a vegetable on a community treatment order
I have pacing and I eat more. restless legs and body going to quit it. I dont benefit from these drugs, only lithium. I am trying to lose weight. But I walk when restless around the neighborhood or at the gym. works well. Its not all that bad. but enough for me to quit it. My sleep has been very poor tossing and turning waking up everynight only to go back to bed.
Weight gsin no thanks
..sick..
What a waste of 30 million dollars
Abilify destroyed my life, I lost my job because of akathisia
