"It did not really help my son with challenging behavior but messed up his hormone levels like other medications such as prolactin and others. We took him off it and he now developed horrendous motor-neuron side effects and looks like having a constant epileptic fit. I am really heartbroken."

Aripiprazole "I took 2 mg of Abilify, and I now see a reason to keep living my life. I’ll make it to 18. My ugly thoughts are less. They are weakened. I am able to say no to them. I am happier. I no longer cry and scream at the tiniest things. I no longer lash out at people. I feel at peace. I feel emotionally regulated. Please don’t be scared to try this med out. It really, REALLY helps with emotional regulation. I wish the best for you all and your mental health journeys."

"I take this with Focalin and 2 mg of Abilify, and I had bad anger issues. I would get yelling and cussing and bad, but I still get mad, but it's better."
