Abilify and compulsive gambling - now registered side effect

I live in the town where the first Native American casino was. We still have a casino about 15 miles away…
We are very rural. Bars, bowling and the casino is pretty much all there is to do.
Now that I am on 30mg Abilify, I find myself spending more time and money at the casino. Yet I don’t think I am addicted to it. I may be in denial… I will admit but I don’t feel I have a problem.

Pamito i combined Saphris and Abilify and one night i begged someone for 20 to make a few slot hits
it was an uncontrollable urge to gamble I can say evil urge

It’s blurred but as far as I can tell Abilify cost me at least several hundred thousand dollars Canadian but less than a million on reckless gambling with very high risk so called investments

Yeah Unclehenry, i have the same problems but on abilify it ruined me took it for 10 years i started to gamble in the hospital on my laptop 10+ years ago online trough 3G

its nuts that drug we should get compensated, before i took any AP i saved my money for later, its been tampered with because many peoples are coming forward

Yeah @jeroenp I still like to invest with whatever I have and also just on paper to see how I do but now that I’m off Abilify and on Risperidone I no longer take the extreme, extreme, uncontrolled risks that I took when on Abilify.

I spent a lot on making a rash decision with a house move only to move back two weeks later. Idk maybe I would still have done it without the abilify.
