I honestly thought she had progressive Dementia that began a year ago. What a horrible MD, what a horrible 'nursing home'. I received a call from an area hospital informing me Mom was there for a stroke assessment, luckily there was no occurrence. She was there since 3 am, no one told me anything, NO ONE, and I am legal POA. Abilify IS NOT APPROVED for any Dementia related issues, ESPECIALLY women who are 60+ years old, it increases risk of STROKE! My Mom also has A-FIB for God's sake! WHY IS THIS DRUG BEING USED IN OUR NURSING HOMES!? My God, at 78 years old why screw up someone's mind? I expressed this sentiment to the Director of Nursing at this 'facility', she said THE BENEFITS ARE WORTH THE RISK. Nurse Ratched indeed, one of many. Tragic. | F | 78 | 1 years 15 MG | 8/1/2018 | 1 | mood swings/ BPD | This drug causes obsessive spending!(google it!) DR doesn't tell you about that. I started on 10 mg and the week after I started it I went crazy with my credit card buying things online. It was just "stuff!" I didn't sleep much because I was always on Amazon. Then my credit limit increased and it was like I won the lottery! Down to 2 mg now and still have spending issues, though not as bad. Financially screwed me up.asking to be taken off of it. | Think about your spending habits since being on this drug. Curious if it happened to anyone else. AND the warning about compulsive spending is online! | F | 53 | 1 years 2mg 1X day | 7/3/2018 | 1 | Depression | weight gain, akathasia, restless legs syndrome, insomnia, tardive dyskinesia, uncontrollable screaming, tremors, muscle spasms, memory loss, hallucinations, paranoia, REM sleep disorder, racing thoughts, suicidal ideation, overwhelming urges to break the law | This is a horrible drug and one I wish I had never taken. I had an immediate severe reaction following my first dose and I suddenly felt like I was possessed. I started doing things completely out of character for me and I was unable to stop myself. It felt like I was not in control. I also began to hallucinate for the first and only time in my life and experienced unwanted racing thoughts. It became impossible to sleep and I developed REM sleep disorder. I couldn’t sit still and had to keep moving. I screamed uncontrollably and my mouth and tongue wouldn’t stop moving. All of my muscles spasmed and I had a pins and needles sensation all throughout. It all terrified me so much I quit cold turkey after taking it three weeks. If I were anyone, I’d do myself a favor and never take Abilify. | F | 20 | 3 weeks 15 | 7/1/2018 | 1 | Diagnosed bipolar | Dr was titrating higher level over short time period. Got leg cramps, heart palpitations, grabbing chest while laying down and screaming agony as thought I was going to die. | 40 | 7 days ? | 5/14/2018 | 1 | Depression | Worked well for 6 months, then terrible negative thoughts, anxiety, dread Would not recommend | Very scary | M | 73 | 18 months 5 mg | 4/11/2018 |
