Depending on the person usually a week or two you will notice it to start working

3 or 4 days, I believe. I don’t remember how long it took to work when they first put me on it but if I miss a dose, I feel it about 3 or 4 days later.

It takes 2 weeks to reach a steady state in your system. When I went from 10mg to 15mg I noticed the effect immediately but it seems to have taken a month for everything to settle down.

Ish isn’t using it to control psychosis. I think ish is using it as an antidepressant (or something :confused:)

I had psychosis 7 years back. Then I asked pdoc to take me off Abilify cos I didn’t have any psychosis. But stupid of me because it probably was controlling my moods …
