The medication definitely did it's job in helping boost my mood and give me more energy, but I had to hop off of it pretty fast because I couldn't deal with the side effects. I had a near-constant headache that caused me to be unfocused at work, and stopped me from doing my normal daily activities. (I should note that this might be prevented with the use of ibuprofen or something of the li ... Show Full Comment

I had a near-constant headache that caused me to be unfocused at work, and stopped me from doing my normal daily activities. (I should note that this might be prevented with the use of ibuprofen or something of the like in conjunction with this, but I don't like taking medication if I don't need to, and so I usually refuse it for headaches...)

Abilify prevented ejaculations for me (a male). Stopped taking Abilify and immediately back to normal.

Been placed on this med at the hospital with Luvox for OCD and depression. So far, I'm having difficulty sleeping, but otherwise it is too early to tell if it is working. Wil post in several weeks.

It all started off when I had attempted suicide in 8th grade. At first, I loved Abilify. Now, I am regretting ever taking it. Within the first six months of taking Abilify, I gained 60 pounds. I was 14, and I went from around 140 to 200 pounds. I'm 17 now, and I came off the medicine last month, and I can quite honestly tell you that I have noticed no difference.

It all started off when I had attempted suicide in 8th grade. At first, I loved Abilify. Now, I am regretting ever taking it. Within the first six months of taking Abilify, I gained 60 pounds. I was 14, and I went from around 140 to 200 pounds. I'm 17 now, and I came off the medicine last month, and I can quite honestly tell you that I have noticed no difference. I would frequently have thoughts of suicide while taking this medication, and it was made even worse by the extreme weight gain. I would be ravenous, eating at all hours of the day and night. Whatever I would eat would not satisfy my hunger. I also never really felt "happy" while taking this drug. I would have days where I felt less sad, but never really happy. This medication really made me feel awful about myself, and I do not recommend it to anyone, especially anyone in High School. It made my life so much more difficult when I gained all the weight. I had no confidence, and found it difficult to talk to people. Not Recommended
