Do you take/ have you taken Abilify (aripirazole)

Thanks! I may preemptively check that out.

I take 20mg of Abilify.

In the beginning I had horrific restlessness which persisted for about 3 months.

I’ve also noticed my weight is slowly creeping upwards despite not eating junk.

But overall it’s been an effective medication. The weight thing bothers the shiit out of me though.

10 mg here you gain weight , lose some sex drive, have akathisa and some eps otherwise nothing much

I take Abilify and have a bald head because of this anti-psychotic.

I admittedly think quetiapine has caused me to feel more hungry. So maybe I won’t notice weight gain. I’ve also got a weight management appointment coming up.

Oh, ok. Sorry. I just saw your profile picture and I thought you were a man.

Just started 10mg few days ago. I hope I can stay on it long term, it’s the med I always want to be on but haven’t been able to. Mostly cause past delusions I think.

@Happy_H I have taken abilify for 15 or more years. I have taken up to 35 mg daily I think. I take 30 mg daily now. It has worked well for me. I hope it works well for you! I am a little twitchy on it. But other than that it’s really helpful. It got me out of a very stressful and long hospital stay.

I’m on 25mg a day. If I go higher I get twitches and tics. If I go lower I get psychosis. My pdoc says if he had sz he would prefer to be on Abilify as well.
