I should add Iām weaning off my antipsychotic under the approval and supervision of a psychiatric doctor, and my diagnosis was psychotic episodes, not schizophrenia.

as far as personal effects go, when i took abilify, I gained lots of weight. like 80 pounds. Iām taking rexulti and Iāve lost 15 pounds already. also, abilify never did much for my motivation or depression. rexulti is doing great so far

Ability is similar to Vraylar. I like Vraylar better.

I was happily on abilify for about 6 or 7 years, then went off it because we thought I was better after almost 2 years of no symptoms. Immediately (within the month) went completely psychotic and couldnāt take abilify again. Iāve tried 3 times in the last 5 years to go back on it and itās been bad news every time. I havenāt been able to take any atypicals die to side effects and then not really doing anything. Iām on haldol now and love it. Itās not great as far as side effects, but so far theyāre mostly worth it.

Abilify has helped me in small doses. All the other antipsychotics Iāve tried can go to hell.

Honestly, depends on dosage
