I am diagnosed with schIzo-effectIve dIsorder. I was placed on ability once and I started hallucinating 2 weeks after I started taking It. and I quite hallucinating two weeks after I stopped taking It. I jacked me up so much I was losing my mind I thought. I have had bad experiences with other med's as well.

That's the way I was on seroquel. Abilify is a great drug for me.

Abilify has been fantastic to me so far. I saw a 40% decrease in my hallucinations as a result of taking it. The only discernable side effects were a ton of weight gain, but that may have been the zyprexa I was taking at the time.

Ive been on abilify for awhile now. It helped me lose weight and keep the hallucinations at bay. I have no other side effects from it.

The only problem is now is that I need more and more of it. I really wish that could take me off of it without me going nuts.

The Doctor just put me on Abilify. I hope it works. The last two meds I had a reaction too. So far I just feel agatated and anxious but it probably takes a couple of weeks to get use to it. It's Sunday I didn't go to church today I just felt that I needed some down time.
