Hi,i am on olanzapine for psychosis 15mg,but i want to switch to aripiprazole cause the olanzapine makes me too numb and i feel like i have no soul on them,could aripiprazole make me somewhat happy?
Hi Peter, I've been on Abilify for over 2 years now and I wouldn't say that it's made me happier than when I was on another medication but then again I didn't have the numbness feeling that you do currently on olanzapine.
When I first started it made me have severe insomnia. I think happiness comes from your situation in life and what happens externally to us. If you cannot feel any feelings of happiness due to numbing of the sense by olanzapine than perhaps this will lift when you switch to any of the other medications not just abilify. I hope this helps as I do have personal experience taking this drug in combination and on it's own for over 2 years now.
