It sounds like Abilify isn’t right for you. I’d take something else until Vraylar becomes available

Idk. I feel have another go at aripiprazole but under 10mg. Negative symptoms zap life out of people. I take aripiprazole because of this very reason.

Vraylar might really help you! I’m starting to level out on the anti-depressant but I really wanted to just take Vraylar instead of Abilfy and an SSRI. Vraylar is basically an anti-depressant plus an anti-psychotic in one pill. I’m on the lowest dose of Prozac though so maybe they wanted to see how I react. I just have to eliminate coffee and not overdo anything or stay up all night on purpose.
Abilify on its own might not be enough for your negative symptoms, that’s why I had to add an anti-depressant. I take Abilify more as a mood stabilizer and to keep me level, but it doesn’t seem to help as much with negative symptoms. Since adding the Prozac I feel like I’m leveling out and getting a bit better…I’m not manic now after getting sleep. I guess the only thing I’m worried about is my thought process, but I think that was caused by serious lack of sleep than anything else. Hope that helps!
