dislike, there are other people on this forum having same problems
But is it because of the drug or is it because of something else…?
I’ve had impulse problems before and it was before I took Abilify. Abilify never changed that.

I think I’ve always been compulsive when it comes to gaming, and I might’ve become a huge loser at gambling if a family friend hadn’t discouraged my gambling desire at a young age, by indulging my challenging him to poker, beating me badly and taking all my change. It was funny and sorta nice in a tough love kind fo way.

Just get in on one of the lawsuits and find a new med.
Maybe you will get your money back.
I took that med that causes man boobs for a while. I forget what it’s called. Fortunately I never got any.

It is described, abilify doesnt cause sedation in many young patients who want their normal lifes back
and takes psychosis away, but causes impulsive behaviors not only related to gambling, sex, shopping, drinking, smoking. etc…
I’m on a low dose of 5mg and so far I feel good about taking it. I was told its a soft medication so im surprised to hear the side affect can be so damaging. Thanks for posting, im always careful to know what im taking and how it affects others.
