For Bipolar Disorder "Was put on Abilify to control hypomania. I'm very, very sensitive to pretty much every medication. Initially, I had a stomach ache that only lasted one night and some tiredness the first two days. However... after this, I had severe hypomania and restlessness that just didn't go away. It wasn't akathisia, though. Unfortunately, I can't reach the mood stabilizing effect - being at least 10 mg - since I can't go any higher than 1.25 mg without having side effects such as emotional numbness, numbness of my face, twitching, increased eye blinking - which, of course, scares me since there is a risk of Tardive Dyskinesia. It's definitely a very powerful drug. But it really did help my depression and anxiety, just didn't help control my hypomania. LOL"

For Bipolar Disorder "I've only been taking this medication for a week, but it has been a life changer. I am no longer irritable, I no longer have this psychotic tension in my head that made me sad and paranoid. I am happier, more capable, and my libido is back. I'm on 5 mg. The only side effect is that I’m very tired multiple times a day, but that should disappear."

For Agitated State "For my OCD symptoms, and they are, or were, severe, 10 mg of Abilify works wonders. Though I am experiencing impulses that I usually don't have-I'm basically binging in what I enjoy most, way more than usual. I'm also gaining weight and am tired a lot, but I'm still giving it an 8/10 because my OCD ruminations, intrusive thoughts, and overall quality of life have GREATLY improved since on Abilify, which has been almost a month."

For Depression "Just weight gain, tired all the time, and vomit. Craving for alcohol, cigarettes. Plus, make me sleepy, so my teeth damaged because I need coffee. So, imagine after 5 cups how they look like if I drink it like this for one year."
