User Reviews for Aripiprazole

Abilify (aripiprazole): I took Abilify for my OCD symptoms. Though it worked as far as my obsessive thoughts go. However, I gained 50 pounds while on this medicine. I am currently off of Abilify (no withdrawl symptoms)and have slowly been losing the weight.

Abilify (aripiprazole): I've tried a lot of meds for my compulsive/obsessive tendencies and Abilify is the only one that seems to work.

Abilify (aripiprazole): My husband has been taking Abilify in conjunction with Effexor and Lexapro, for obsessive compulsive disorder. It's amazing - he gets going and out-of-the-house much easier, and has actually been on-time for the first time in his life. His productivity is hugely improved and his compulsions are fewer/shorter. First success we have seen.

Abilify (aripiprazole): I have been taking abilify for OCD and Body Dysmophic Disorder for about 2 months and it has helped but I do have a few small side effects like insomnia and a feeling of restlessness but I feel the help outweighs my side effects.

Abilify (aripiprazole): Abilify works wonders for my OCD, Bipolar disorder, and anxiety disorders, but what's not listed is how much it helps with my eating disorder, which is Purge-Type Anorexia Nervosa, and body dysmorphia. With such low side effects, and such a wide range of disorders treatable with this medication, I consider Abilify a miracle pill for people with mental health problems of many kinds. Several of my friends, including my boyfriend, are also currently prescribed Abilify for a wide range of disorders and we all love it.

Abilify (aripiprazole): I take 12 mg per day. Side effects are minimal - slight nausea, slight diarrhea, loss of appetite, insomnia. I'm also taking NuVigil to deal with any sedation, and Ambien for the insomnia. I feel like a stable, grounded human being again!

Abilify (aripiprazole): Was prescribed this medicine as an adjunct to Paxil. Too many side effects, insomnia, blurry vision, etc. but I did notice that my compulsion to double-check things has almost disappeared.

Abilify (aripiprazole): My daughter was taking 10mg for OCD hair pulling, while it did help with the pulling she gained 20kg and could not stay awake which is not a good thing in school. She had no motivation for anything but to eat and sleep. I have taken her off the medication.

Abilify (aripiprazole): I have been going through a tough time in my life, and Prozac wasn't cutting it. A psychiatrist gave me a sample of Abilify. I'm glad it was just a free sample, because this was NOT the medicine for me. I would bounce between feeling OK and being suicidal (I have never contemplated suicide before). Things went really haywire the morning after taking my first dose. My legs felt so weak that I could not even get out of bed. It has been about 20 hours since my last dose, and I still feel like I'm going to collapse whenever I stand up. My brain feels like it's turned to mush - I stutter, and I'm very clumsy. The pharmacist said that 2% of people experienced muscle stiffness/myalgia with this medicine so I guess I'm one of the 2%.
