Positive experiences
“Aripiprazole (helps clear up my thinking a bit and keeps psychosis at bay)”
“I take Abilify now at a low dose and that helped with a lot of the remaining robotiness.”
“I'm currently on a low dose (2 mg) and yes, ruminations are diminished if not outright eliminated.”
“Ever since I started taking Abilify, I no longer have a desire to abuse amphetamines.”
“I'm on Abilify 10mg and it's great! No comedown, no crashes, only pure will of doing things!”
Negative and mixed experiences
“The only two that helped were Lamictal and Abilify but they only helped keep me stable mood wise.”
“I have given very few of them fair trials, as I can't deal with the side effects for that long.”
“it made me feel sedative and made ADHD symptoms worse, so I stopped taking it”
“I couldn't really take it...made my tight pelvic floor much worse, I could only pee once or twice a day”
“I take abilify which messes with my metabolism and causes weight gain.”
“The single best thing for my brain fog was Aripiprazole... it improves mental clarity. I'm on 5MGs currently.”
