This doctor has saved my life.So has abilify.I have never felt so good in my life and I am doing things that I havent done in ten years.I am now putting on perfume and makeup.I am now making my bed and such.I am now giving my old clothes and books away and i realize now that my first love never did love me and used me.My first love was like a god to me..but now I realize that he wasnt so nice..and I will say about him what Tony Curtis said about Marilyn Monroe...kissing Marilyn he said was like kissing Hitler.These are my thoughts about his kisses and such.I would rather have Charles Manson over...at least with Charles Manson..you know what the outcome with me...This guy uses you and you dont even know it!Abilify made me realize we must take charge of our lives and realize some people well like I said...they aint nice..but now i realize that love must be earned and noone will take this away from me.Abilify helped me regain my sanity when I realized that I was much more in love with him..then he was..and he is still carrying a torch..I am not.I have liberated myself and he will never come back in my life again.I love abilify.I am doing things now that I never have and I am human again and I realized this...sometimes you can hurt a parent and hurt them bad.I did hurt my mother emotionally and now she will be dead for 6 years so I am using this...mom..I am so sorry.You were right.He wasnt any good and I blew it...I miss you mom and I miss your advice...And I want to say this..you were the best mom and I will always love you..then we meet again..love vader.

I have been taking abilify for a few years. When I first started on it I noticed a difference immediately, but then it seems to loose it's effectivness. Had to go off meds, for 3 months, lost my job, then I really noticed the difference it made. I restarted taking them about a week ago, and today I'm cleaning my room, I can't remember the last time I felt like cleaning. It definately makes me feel less irritable.

abilify worked for me for about 2yrs. that along with the rest of my meds crapped out on me around the same time. i hope all goes well for you on it.

yes, it's pooping out on me right now. I think I just need more as I'm only on 5 mg. I hate the weight gain though!

For those who had the medication poop out on them, how many mg were you on. I was on 20mg of Abilify which is quite a high dose. I don't think that the amount really affects when you poop out on your medication.

I feel the same way! Abilify has made me feel somewhat normal for the first time in years. Love it.
