User Reviews for Aripiprazole

Abilify (aripiprazole): While this medicine helped, and really did snuff out the symptoms associated with my trauma disorder. It also had so many side effects. Taking it would put me into a sleepy sort of fog, and felt very out of it. We then tried Minipress, and have had much more success with that. I now use Abilify as an emergency medicine. It acts as a great last resort to stop all of the overly emotional symptoms associated with an attack/flash back, and helps put you back in a better place, even if it gets a bit foggy. I haven't used it for a couple weeks now, but I haven't also worked on the trauma issues for a while as well. I'd give it a 10 for rare emergency use, and a 5 for day to day use due to its side effects, thus the 7

Abilify (aripiprazole): So far I would recommend taking this at night. Instead of having insomnia it made me very sleepy.

aripiprazole: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder was the most awful thing that I've ever experienced, bringing me back to terror unlike anything I've felt for over 15 years. My love for my kids saved my life. I already have depression, Fibromyalgia, SAD, many anxiety types, and likely narcolepsy, currently taking 8 medicines that did nothing for the trauma. Only 2mg of Abilify stopped all of the symptoms, but made me very tired, falling asleep at 8pm (Narcolepsy). Other than that, I regard this medication as being extremely effective. I had bad side effects (even more sleepy) but took 7 days to lessen (now less sleepy than before), unlike the 2 days typical of these medicines.

Abilify Discmelt (aripiprazole): Had simmilar antipsychotic effects of Seroquel, and yet had far less sedative and flattening effects on the psyche. A great alternative to other medications with similar applications.
