What's weird id Abilfy makes me sleep for Hours, like 12-15 hours. It works for a while then if I miss a dose at night and I take my my next dose the next night I sleep for hours. that makes me feel worse because I missed taking my morning meds and diabetes medication. I also feel like crap because I've slept the whole day away. I need to lose weight and also. Now it does work where I feel more ok and calm. However There are days that I'm in a stupor or don't feel very active at all.
Write to Dr. Mark Frye at mfrye@mayo.edu and ask him about the side effects of Abilify - - he's the former medical consultant to Bristol Myers Squibb. Or write directly to sonia.choi@bms.com - - she's the spokesperson for BMS - - she has all of the inside information on the side effects. Good luck getting either one of them to speak!
These so called Doctors need to be hung in the highest tree. This video makes me pist off! Go to a nutritionist. It's food. You have to fuel your body and brain and exercise. I no you don't have the energy to exercise but when you begin to fuel your body correctly everything else will fall into place. Love and Prayers to you. Your a tough girl.
most prescribed drugs do more harm long term.They will help with depopulization! I'v been on Black seed oil, one spoon with tea in the day(cure for every thing except death!). I came off simvastatin (betablocka),
thanks for posting ur story and the info.. you a sweet person, maybe they have you on too many drugs. I took care of a girl who was on all of the drugs that you mentioned, and when two were removed she did amazing and felt 100% better.
Hi, I only would ask that you ask yourself these questions, what have I been doing that has contributed to my problem, like do I watch too much TV or listen to too much music? Be careful what you feed your brain. Our emotions do help us survive, even the negative ones blunting them with drugs prevents our paying attention to them. I have taken abilify and I had to stop taking it because it elevated my heart rate. It frightened the heck out of me.
I have to warn that antipsychotics can turn you into emotionless, brain dead zombies and make effect on your personality you're gonna feel like you've lost your personality but the psychiatrist would not tell you that, ask me, I'm on seroquel previous I was on torendo, zolrix and similar shit and I'm gonna quit with it, because I can't remember even what I should supposed to be like, it totally blocked my brain, I lost my creativity, logical thinking but most of all I miss my feelings :/
you want to be cured or you want to feel good? for the first one there is only 1 solution, no drugs and find the problems that cause your depression eg family friends, start over again and make a solution for them. for the second you only need to continue finding the drugs that you take may help eg stopping medicines starting new one or adding some.
its not easy to start your life again certainly not if you have a wife husband and kids.
I take Abilify, it keeps me awake most nights. I did not think u could take more than two meds at a time. I was taking Abilify and this other med! Anyway loved the vid, ur a nice person.
youre a great person, loved the video and your personality, also loved how well you spoke of the 10 year old boy, I wish you the best, youre a great person
go back on seroquel if it was much better. ask doctor. They might agree with you and never know. I need to lose weight so it can make me feel better and want to quit gaining weight. I like to be back at 108 pounds.
why you use those medication,i mean your joung,look good,is just you have to eat natural food,and exercise,and pray God the almighty to cure you and lead you to succes.
I'm thinking about going off of Abilify, because I gained close to 20 pounds in a year. And I think the Abilify caused it along with the dizziness. I'm 5'7" and I use to weigh 165 and now I weigh 182 pounds. That is way too much! I did better on Seroquel. I lost weight on it and I was happier.
My son is back on abilify 5 mg. he was on it before but didn't know how it helped so we will see. he is taking lexapro20 mg. too. You take alot of meds. what is your problem?
I feel really sad for you my heart goes out to I think you need a great big hug . I think you're not really exposing what you really feel or would feel normally and seem scared to exactly say what you want so you don't get more medicated.I beleive you need a kindred spirit.NOT meds.
I was thinking of askin my doctor for abilify. Im on prozac and wellbutrin and Im starting to get manic depressive episodes again. I don't know what to do
yes it terrible feels like im missing out on something of creating something,and very lonely feeling.but iv been able to almost over come the nothingness through music.
hang in there girl ! i was on several drugs for depression and almost destryoed my life . i took control and slowly weened myself of despite some doctors saying i may have to be on them for life ! such bs ! they want you to think this . this is how they make there money! im off of everything now . i admit it was hell at times but im done and feel the best that i ever have .
Thank you so much for sharing ur thoughts and feelings. It was very courageous of u. Loved ur smile at the end of the video. Hope things are going better for u now
You are probably on Abilify for treatment resistant depression. It was originally used as an antipsychotic, but has had better effects I think as a augmenting agent for people who have difficult-to-treat depression
You are a wonderful girl to share your story. You have a lot of good qualities to whare with the world so hang in there. You are a good and worthy person and that little boy is lucky to have you in his life. You are not alone in your struggle. Hang in there - you are beautiful!
You are a brave strong person to be sharing your story. There are many of us in your boat, you are not alone. But this/these diseases are horrible and can make you feel very alone. I have been dealing w/depression, anxiety, PTSD and now diagnosed as Bipolar. I've tried so many different combinations and am frustrated and scared. One dr. said try Effexor, read the API..no/ new dr. wants me to consider Abiify...btw. the commercial and these personal stories I just don't know what to do. Anyone?
I completely agree. Abilify along with all of the other antipsychotics are just inhumane and WRONG. It deprives people of their lives while they're living it.
I am Almost off of the abilify too. I also gained weight on it and didn't think I needed to take a so called 'CRAZY' drug. I have come to the conclusion that the drugs don't help at all. In fact they just totally make things worse. I am going to subscribe to your videos. =)
You would do better with diet and exercise, although your potential seems to be limited that amount of medication is not doing you any good.

I use to take 20mg of Abilify. Then it went down to 15mg, and now it's down to
10mg. And it's about to be lowered to
5mg. I didn't gain weight from the higher dose, but the higher dose made me lethargic, manic, and made me eat.
