I couldn’t stand up on Abilify. I was beyond weak. My blood pressure tanked, and I was practically passed out.

Not me even on 20mg I was going to the gym almost daily for 1-2hrs. Did 45min cardio, 30min elliptical and 15 min max speed running on treadmill then 30min weight lifting. I wish I could go back to Abilify.

Abilify is the absolute worst. Got nearly all side affects from it. And was even contemplating taking my life over it. I had depression tiredness akathisia,restless legs ocular gyric crisis was spending money like water and couldnt sleep on the higher doses ended up blowing alot of money on ■■■■.and I still have bouts of it today. Never had truly gone away. Forgetfulness lack of concentration/focus also made me feel very stupid and couldnt even say sentences properly. Was saying things the wrong way backwards ect. Anxiety a feeling of being on edge all the time. Only getting excited when buying things.couldnt do my art because of lack of focus and creativity. Made me also feel very stupid also in some ways made my psychosis worse looking back. And also sore legs and impulsivity as well as being hungry and craving sugar literally all the time

For me it’s either Haldol or Geodon. Horrible experiences with both of them

What was wrong with Geodon? I use to want to try it but now we’re trying Clozapine.

It made my eyelids twitch, gave me tremors, made me nauseous, dizzy, weak. I hated having to eat 500 calories with it. It made me feel intoxicated and I couldn’t function or drive (and driving is a major component of my job) in between doses my movement would become jerky and I’d get brain zaps. There’s probably more that I can’t think of right now

My worst was maybe Seroquel. I had rls and constipation. I haven’t found a wonder drug yet.

same same. it was hell
The worst meds for me were: Zyprexa. Made me gain 75 lbs. in only a few months. Abilify. Worsened my paranoia and psychosis by a thousand fold. Lithium. Made it almost impossible to do my job as an RN due to coarse tremors and excessive drooling. It also gave me permanent hypothyroidism.
Risperdone was my worst experience ever. It didn’t work even though I was on 16 mg. I had all the side effects you ever could mention. Never again.

The best I ever have using is Clopixol. And the time proves that. I’ve been on that meds for 26 years with virtually no side effects.
