This is what I was dreading about going back on meds. My second day on abilify apart from lethargy and other relatively minor nuissances, I feel my mood is falling to pieces. Thinking a lot about death, in fact, there is nothing I’d like more than to be dead, I’d enough of a world I barely feel part of. But then my guardian angel rushes in in the guise of GUILT and I’m reminded of the pain I’d cause to others. Thinking a lot about harming myself. Is this normal with abilify? Does it stop after a few days?
Can you get ahold of your psychiatrist? Tell them you’re having urges or thoughts to harm yourself. We as a forum can only offer support, right now you need medical advice. Go to the hospital if your thoughts get worse.

I agree. Suicidal ideation is a deal breaker and you need to talk to your doctor asap.

Thanks, but I’m wondering whether this is normal with abilify and I simply need to bite the bullet and wait. I don’t think I’ll harm myself because of my family, but clearly there is so much death thought anyone can take
It’s not normal with abilify.

Please talk to your pdoc! Suicidal ideation means you need new treatment immediately. I hope you’re feeling better soon.
