"My son was started on Abilify after 11 years on Zyprexa. First, he was zombie-like, and now, a year later, he is paranoid, delusional, and has a lot of cognitive deficits. Worst drug ever!!!!"

"Hated it. 55-pound weight gain in 6 months. Completely ineffective for psychotic symptoms (delusions). Severe anxiety (prescribed 3 Xanax per day to cope) and depression. Not for me."

"So far, so good. Abilify is extremely strong, so I have found I am fine with just 5 mg daily. Taking a lower dose gets rid of most of the unpleasant side effects (restlessness and constipation)."
