Abilify (aripiprazole): This medicine is truly great. It helped to stop my bi-polar swings and keep me level. The only reason that I did not give it a 10 is that it only lasted 3 years. Then the symptoms came back but while it worked it was great. Hardly any side effects except some weight gain that may or may not be attributed to this drug. I would recommend this drug to anybody.

Abilify (aripiprazole): I suffered for over 5 years in an episode state, I was diagnosed bipolar schizoaffective in January of 2008. Was prescribed Abilify for the schizoaffective disorder and Zoloft for the bipolar disorder the combination of the two has changed my life. I'm not homeless anymore and am able to hold a part time job to support myself.

Abilify (aripiprazole): Abilify was the first antipsychotic my doctor tried with me after I was diagnosed with schizoaffactive disorder. It did nothing for me. My main symptoms are depression, difficulty concentrating and hallucinations. I noticed no difference in any of these while on the Abilify. Except for the side effects, you would think I wasn't taking anything. The side effects were orthostatic hypotension (dizziness upon standing), blurred vision, and involuntary muscle twitches. My doctor took me off Abilify after three weeks and we tried Invega, which worked much better.

Abilify (aripiprazole): Doctors added Abilify with Celexa (antidepressant) and Geodon and I finally feel normal.

Abilify (aripiprazole): Eliminated hallucinations, but neither eliminated nor reduced delusions. Extreme anger, increasing as dosage increased, until becoming extremely violent. When Abilify was removed relative calm.
