I’m scared the abilify is slowly killing my brain. I took a half tablet tonight, thinking this would be a good middle ground, but now I’m thinking of throwing it up because I know it’s damaging me.

IDK man, lots of people (including me) take medication for years and their brain is fine and does not die. I’ve been on medication 40 years and just got my degree in Humanities in March. I mean there’s thousands of schizophrenics on medication and how often do you hear that it caused them serious problems unless it’s the wrong medication for them and another one would work better… The side effects and the weight gain sucks but I’d rather be overweight than psychotic. Relax, the Abilify may not be the right drug for you but it isn’t going to kill you. If it is causing problems tell your doctor and see if he can find a different med that you can tolerate better.

Thank you, this actually helped me feel much better. Especially hearing about your getting a degree after being on medication for decades. Thank you again. I will take the meds and cooperate with treatment.

I know I’m being a bit of a hypocrite however these meds save lives yes I think from time to time I don’t need them but they definitely save lives and help make life easier
