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

"The medicine helped tremendously with my paranoia. However, I had insomnia and gained 45 pounds in the six months I was on the medication. For health risks, I had to be taken off the medication."

"Being on Abilify was the very worst experience. It made me feel worse. This medication also did the same thing to another patient at the health facility I was at. A big zero!"

"Did nothing for my intrusive paranoid thoughts but sure gave me a ton of akathisia. Felt like I wanted to jump out of my skin the whole time I was on this wasteful drug. I really don’t recommend it."

"Took care of the positive effects of schizo and most of the negative ones. Gave me medicine-induced akathisia, which I take propranolol for. That is the only reason I gave 8/10."

"Was good outside of appetite issues. I would recommend if you are having schizoaffective disorder or depression in tandem with something like Prozac."
