I developped a second and worse personality when starting Abilify. I don’t mind it in exchange for my negative symptoms but no extreme addictions and no extreme hypersexuality.
Is there meds for personality disorders?
Did you dissociate and lose large chunks of time, @Aziz?
I think that’s the standard for DID.

I feel a different person especially when on Abilify. Chemicals can change our personality.
Can you define ‘‘multiple personalities’’? how does that work?

Could one have that not knowing they have it? lack of insight like?
@anon28145038 Do you have multiple personalities?
Yes its possible.
I’m kind of a Jekyl and Hide type person, but I have it under control.
What is that? 15
I think I would be better now if I was never put on Abilify. Damn psychiatrists.

“Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hide” is a famous book by Robert Louis Stevenson about a doctor who discovers a formula that can change his personality from a mild mannered philanthropist to an evil man. I think it has a theme of the position of women in Victorian society.

I am being serious that chemicals can change your personality. Your personality is in the orbitofrontal cortex in the brain, I studied it in university psychology courses.
It’s a possiblity. I’m not diagnosed.

Street drugs can change your personality too.
How does it feel?
Yea, those side effects you experienced were really severe.
Wild how some medications have that effect on people.
I’m wishing you luck with the Vraylar though 
That my old personality or soul is dead prior to 2011 when I was ‘abducted’ and 2013 and on is the new me, I guess. I don’t remember my childhood.

When I get off my med’s the change is startling. The med’s weaken me so much physically, though. I want to get off them but I know I can’t. I’ve thought that maybe if I cut way down on the caffeine, get about the right amount of exercise, and meditate, maybe I can do without my med’s.
