I spend like I have money. I'm not that rich

But I spend like i am. I also have no concept of guilt over my spending. Today I spent £145 on a dress I plan to wear. Once.

I swear this is the Abilify doing this to me. If you look at the leaflet of side effects gambling is one of them

So this is not in my head. I never used to have an issue with spending until I took Abilify

Abilify caused me and my schizophrenic wife to spend enough that we had a $500,000 bancruptcy…no kidding.

Do you mean you spent that much on meds? Or do you mean it caused you to overspend?

it caused us to overspend…a LOT. It caused our divorce.

So I went to my pdoc he told me at 5mg it has no potential side effects. I can’t get no bloody doc to listen it’s so frustrating. All refuse my med change even the private doc refused

I’m on abilify also and can’t stop spending money like i have it when i’m in debt

I doubt Abilify is going to make you spend money. Certainly 5mg isn’t.

People are always looking for a side effect to blame for their behavior.

So Abilify has no behavoral side effects? So it can’t do anything at 5mg? So why can’t I get off this shitty med? Because every time I try I end up with symptoms
