I'm on abilify

Postby stumpymack » Mon May 08, 2017 8:16 pm

I've been on ability for a week and I've been having some side effects (at least I think so). What are your experiences with abilify; did it help, weight gain??, side effects, at what dosage do you think it's most effective, etcetera.? (Oh also I'm supposed to start on 5 mg today instead of 2.5 that I've been taking)
My things- self harm, anger issues, depression, anxiety
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My meds- 25mg lexapro, 5mg abilify, 50mg vistaril

*trigger warning*

My experience with Abilify was a nightmare. It caused me to commit suicide and I was extremely restless from all the akathisia side effect. It felt like my nerves were on fire. Also I had issues with blood pressure being too low when I stand up so I would get this woozy feeling. Also I couldn't urinate. It was so difficult. As far as weight gain I haven't been on it for long but it is said that you don't gain weight on Abilify, only other antipsychotics.

Reason: added trigger warning; no other changes
