| 1 | bipolor | After 3 yrs of working great it started to backfire. Aggresion, high blood suger, constant mood swings. Doctor insisted it was the onset of puberty and he needed higher doses. After two more years of worsing behavior doctor still insisted it was puberty and added mood stabilizers. Finally when he was so aggressive and placed in a alternate school my husband and i hospitalized him and took him off all meds replaced with low dose of seroquel. He is doing better. Please donot put children on this i will never forgive myshelf. His doctor fought with me not to take him off abilify he was wrong my son was a mess for 3 years. Do not take! | M | 13 | 6 years | 10/7/2014 | 1 | severe depression/ANXIETY | Been on antidepressants for almost 30 yrs. was one of the first teens to be put on Prozac. Presently, Coming off of clonazepam which I take in combo with cymbals. I thought clonazepam was the Devils drug but u can add ability too. In just two weeks I developed severe suicidal ideation, extreme bloating, crying jags (never had this before) muscle and body pain, SECERE FEVER SWEATING ALL DAY AND NIGHT!. Nightmares, fuzziness, anxiety 1,000 times worse than my natural anxiety except I don't even know what my natural state is because going off clonazepam is just as bad as going on ability! NOT WORTH THE PAIN. Put my job into question...unable to function properly. Go on this drug or clonazepam and expect to be on it your entire life! Ps. Ive been on cymbalta for several years now.... Doesn't do a thing except can't go off of it because then it will cause depressive symptoms far worse than when I was not on antidepressants. DARE I SAY THAT THE SPACE ALIEN WINGNUT TOM CRUISE IS RIGHT?????? Psychiatric prescribing of various drugs are evil and do more harm than good! If you have to keep throwing $h/t against the wall until something sticks ..... It sounds like quackery and not science. In 30 years I never thought I would shout conspiracy but I truly believe big pharma wants us to be ill and rain on their drug purely for profit!!!!! Or maybe that's just the ability talking and MAKING ME SOUND LIKE A LUNATIC. Let's see how long this stays posted. | F | 46 | 2 days 2mg | 10/1/2014 | 1 | Pyschosis | The delusions and hallucinations increased and became more vivid. Very restless, aggressive and irritable. One night my mother climbed out a ground floor window to "rescue" me as she thought I was being attacked. It was a struggle to get the psychiatrist to take my mother off the Abilify as they wanted to give it another week to see if the delusions decreased. | F | 78 | 17 days 5mg 1X day | 9/19/2014 | 1 | my 5yr old son was on it for his m | Made him more irritable aggressive and way more violent towards not only adults but children and pets too. It was like he was at the regaining were we first started all had reappeared but stronger. | M | 5 | 6 months 5m | 9/15/2014 | 1 | Borderline Personality Disorder | Excruciating pain from hip to toes (I was unable to move half the time) and 90% vision loss (dark gray blurring) | F | 22 | 4 weeks N/a | 9/9/2014 | 1 | Amphetamine-induced Psychosis | Huge weight gain, massive depression, akathisia, suicidal idealisation, metabolic syndrome. | It took 9 months before the damage this potent neurotoxin did resolved itself (impotence, depression etc). That was from 6 months of use. | 49 | 6 months 20 1X day | 9/2/2014 | 1 | Anti-depression | Significant weight gain (over 50 pounds) | It was a great anti-depressant booster (with Celexa), but I would not recommend it to anyone who cares about their body, no matter if they work out or diet. It simply does not matter with this drug. You will gain weight just being on it and the cravings are ridiculous. You will only feel more depressed about your body in time if you start gaining the weight from Abilify like I did. Having self control is not the issue when it is regarding Abilify. | F | 37 | 9 months 15 mg 1X day | 8/25/2014 | 1 | Family Pressures | Severe anxiety, abnormal, uncontrollable, involuntary movements. Poverty of thought. Emotional deadening. One of the worst experiences of my life. | M | 32 | 4 weeks 1X day | 8/4/2014 | 1 | Anxiety | Liver problems when withdrawing the drug. | DO NOT START TAKING ABILIFY.

All I have are side effects. Waste of money and time for my parents. | F | 14 | 3 months 5mg | 5/26/2014 | 1 | Schizophrenia | Irritability, Inability to concentrate, Shakiness, Restless Leg Syndrome, Increased Suicidal Thoughts, Major Depression, Increase in paranoia and auditory and visual hallucinations | Abilify almost killed me. For the first month of so, it seemed like a miracle drug. I told everyone "with Abilify - im able!". I had my life back on track, no side effects, everything was fine. Thats when my whole life changed. I became violent, withdrew from people, couldnt stop shaking, and became even more paranoid, had horrible voices and visions that would not leave me alone, not even for a moment. They told me to kill myself and harm myself and others. They said they would stop when I listened to them, so I did cut myself to see if they would stop, but they didnt. I was driven mad with abilify, to the point of getting amitted into the psychiatric ward at my local mental hospital. My doctor finally switched me off of it to Latuda, and im much better now. PLEASE dont take this medication! | F | 6 months 10 mg 1X day | 5/15/2014 | 1 | Anxiety | Rapid heart beat, confusion, dilated pupils, flushing, muscle twitches, shaking, chest heaviness, throat tightness. | F | 32 | 1 days 2.5 | 5/3/2014 | 1 | anxiety | withdrawal nausea, possible liver problems, higher blood sugar, insomnia | as with other meds - avoid too low doses. abilify is a a strong, possibly dead-end med. use seroquel 400mg instead. | M | 33 | 10 days 7.5 1X day | 3/5/2014 | 1 | bipolar | This drug made me gain 50 pounds and now that I haven't taken it for 3 years I am still struggling to get rid of the weight. I suspect I have prediabetes at least and have had to completely eliminate carbs from my diet. I went from 187 to 240 and I can't get the weight to go away. I could easily develop diabetes. I am thoroughly angry. The humans profiting from ruining unsuspecting peoples health deserve an afterlife filled with pain. They are all evil slime. | F | 36 | 1 years | 3/2/2014 | 1 | mood swings | F | 18 months 10mg 1X day | 3/1/2014 | 1 | Paranoid Schizophrenia and anxiety | Anxiety, akathisia | Would not take it; I tried coming off it once and had a bad experience; will try coming off it again though. | M | 46 | 6 years 20 MG 1X day | 2/23/2014 | 1 | Anxiety | Felt like on I was on speed. | Horrific | F | 43 | 2 weeks 1X day | 1/8/2014 |
