To all who have bi polar...there is hope.It is calle d abilify and since i have been taking it...I have been like a new person.Gone are the crying jags and thoughts about sex.Gone is the rage that i had towards my mom and now I realize this..Mothers are people also.It is so hard on a mother to have a mentally ill child.There are no support groups.If there was some,my mother would have joined.How many of us have rage and anger towards our parents? Well,it is not right.They do not know what to do.There are no instructions for bi polarism.I have got bi polar 2 and believe me..before abilify I was on a roller coaster.And it has cost me a job and friends.I also was a shop-0 holic and brought things that i did not need.I now buy things I need and i love to shop..but now money is tight and I cant always buy dresses and such.This was before abilify.And this wonderful pill has enabled me to realize that is is up to people to learn the keys to conversation and now i love to meet new people.Loneliness is a trait for bi polar people.We think that noone understands us ,,but all of us must make an effort to do so and we must learn that some behaviour is just not acceptable.We must learn self control and not to run our mouths off.We must also learn this...not all relationships end in marriage and the ones that do are lucky...and if you one and only has broken up with you..it is because the relationship wasnt working out and when this does happen it would be foolish to continue and we must end it or just remain friends but close this relationship and go on withn our lives.And all of this is because abilify has made my thinking clear and sound and we must learn to have a good mind that is clean and that can help mankind.Thanks to all.Lets hear it for abilitfy! Vader.

I am so glad to hear it works for you! It worked for me too but the restless leg syndrome was too much. It a great drug especially for mixed episodes and mania. :)

I'm so glad this is working for you. I know when I finally got the right med combo to get rid of my depression I was estatic. Symbyax saved my life. Good luck to you!

I had the same experience with it. It's amazing what the right little pill can do for one's life experiences.
