No I took Abilify for 9 years and slowly developped hypersexuality, promiscuity, gambling shopping weed alcohol eating addictions. I stopped Abilify last year. I wasn’t on this forum while on Abilify, I had many friends in real life.
I was normal, I didn’t even feel the schizophrenia.
Don’t be scared of side effects as you will probably not have them, only few ppl here have them. You can feel the side effects and reduce dosage especially since you don’t have positive symptoms. Not having positive symptoms gives you an advantage with meds.
Since my negative and cognitive symptoms appeared slowly I am adapted to live with this condition. If it came abruptly it will be a disaster as yesterday I have high emotions to do things and now nothing. What I do is force myself to do every needed thing. I create a habit and force myself to follow it without fail.
I am scared of withdrawal effect if I stop taking abilify that’s why scared to touch antis psychotics. At least now I don’t have any positive symptoms.

Its your life, I am not suggesting anything, just saying that Abilify improved my negative symptoms and that my psychiatrist said Abilify can treat negative symptoms.
TMG supplement have anti anhedonia effect. Its more like ablify I think.

If take TMG I get super horny, wet dreams, if ejaculate then not get satisfied with one or two. During workout I can do more reps due to increased energy. Less need to sleep almost like hypomania. It have antidepressant effect without any sideeffects of usual antidepressants like memory, sexual problems and effect come within hours of taking it unlike SSRI’s which take months to see the effect.
Antidepressants only made me sleepy, they didn’t help at all. I tried Wellbutrin and it gave me lack of concentration and it made me stop my job. Dr stopped it and I still fear work and have lack of concentration, I think dr broke my working brain and says he doesn’t know why this happened.
Now I can’t work bcz my pdr broke my working brain with Wellbutrin.
TMG try its not just a feeling. It might give you the same experience like abilify. The specialty is no memory problems when taking it unlike medications.
Wellbutin increases dopamine thus not good its similar like L dopa.

Did you have any of these TMG side effects? I already have high cholesterol so…
Wikipedia TMG
“TMG supplementation may cause diarrhea, stomach upset, or nausea. TMG supplementation lowers homocysteine but also raises LDL-cholesterol.”
Do you know why Wellbutrin side effects were permanent? Its been 2-3 months I stopped Wellbutrin, when will I stop having fear of working?
Which is better? TMG or NAC?
I think I will take NAC at 6-7AM and see if I get insomnia again.
TMG not sure about cholesterol may be this reason why I switched to DMG. DMG gives less effect when compared with TMG but no cholesterol side effect.
TMG is like experiment supplement take on few days like workout days. If take like this no major side effects. Side effects occur in those who take it daily.
NAC is a normalizing supplement helps to remain normal, think normal etc. Useful if you get positive symptoms, anxiety, anger etc. Yes try taking it early morning as several users in this forum itself taking and no major insomnia issue due to it. I think you might be getting due to combined effect of coffee or tea.
Is it early morning there?
So DMG is better? Which brand is best?
