IT IS DANGEROUS. | M | 34 | 90 days 15 1X day | 7/6/2014 | 4 | bipolar and anxiety | Oculogyric crisis, twitching | I was on Abilify for 4 years and it worked wonderfully. Then I started taking a drug called Domperidone...which seemed to throw the Abilify's side effects into gear. According to my doctor it was basically "the straw that broke the camel's back". Soon after I started the Domperidone the twitching began. Then I kept getting these instances where my eyes wouldn't stop trying to roll back in my head. It's a form of dystonia, as it turns out. Anyway I stopped the Domperidone because it wasn't doing what it was supposed to, and these side effects continued. I finally ended up at a neurologist's office about it and was told that basically I was probably always predisposed to those side effects from Abilify, but it was the other medication combined with it that brought those side effects out. Now I'm back to square one to treat my bipolar, because I am extremely sensitive to psych meds and it makes me very hard to deal with as a patient. | F | 32 | 5 years 10mg 1X day | 6/24/2014 | 2 | Anxiety & Confusion | Dizzy & breathless. Blacked out on my living room floor & hurled. Thought I was having a heart attack. Stopped taking it 2-days ago & am still short of breath. Scared my family who wanted to call 911. Excessive sweating & just felt bizarre. Not my deal at all. After that, I'd rather go through this difficult period without drugs. | F | 54 | 3 days 2 mg | 6/24/2014 | 2 | Bipolar ll, ptsd | No side effect. | M | 21 | 2 months 20 MG | 6/23/2014 | 1 | Anxiety,Depression, Bipolar | fever, stiff muscles, confusion, sweating, uneven heartbeats, numbness, weakness, headache, confusion, problems with vision, speech, balance, vomiting, dizzy, nausea | F | 20 | 1 days 2mg 1X day | 6/21/2014 | 5 | Depression/Psychosis | Definitely weight gain and restlessness. | F | 15 | 2 months 7.5 | 6/20/2014 | 1 | psychosis | the worst drug ever.I had EXTREME anxiety,agitation,restlessness,panic attacks,insomnia,depression.I haven't felt so awful in my life. | 30 days 15mg 1X day | 6/16/2014 | 1 | For new stabilizer | For the very first day I've ministered 2 mg I ate probably 3 pounds of unknown food And did a couple somersaults down a spiral staircase none of which I can recall not even 2020 hrs. later even 20 hours later I would not recommend this to my worst enemy | F | 37 | 1 days 2 mg | 6/13/2014 | 1 | bipolar, depression | Doesn't work. 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 | 5 | Bipolar | None | This medication has been wonderful for me | F | 39 | 7 years 30mg 1X day | 4/11/2014 | 2 | anxiety "overactive" nervous system | Nothing. Removal of anxiety and other problems. Doctor prescribed this drug because he HATED me and wanted me DEAD. | WITHDRAWAL CAN KILL. ABILIFY CAN BE **DEAD-END** MEDICATION. WITHDRAWAL CAN CAUSE LIVER PROBLEMS AND OTHER ISSUES (5-HT2B AND LIVER). | M | 33 | 30 days 7.5 1X day | 3/22/2014 | 3 | major depression, schizoaffective, | Sedation, sleepiness, tiredness, the feeling of agitation | Can be a life saver. | M | 17 | 1 months 10 MG 1X day | 3/18/2014 | 5 | Bipolar depression | Joint pain & muscular pain, in hips and legs. Headache, constipation, stomach pain, insomnia. But it's worth it. | For three decades I've suffered mechancholic deression, interspersed with irritable mixed states. Anti-epileptics & antidepressants were no help. Seroquel let me sleep & live in a fog while blood sugar went thru the roof. Abilify in this short time works better than decades of drugged despair. Hypomania did threaten, but I take 200mg Tegretol & 20mg trepiline to sleep. Seem to have a balance, with energy and interest in life & a future. Will post again in some months.... | F | 61 | 14 days 5mg 1X day | 3/15/2014 | 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 |
