If you want to get better, take the pills as prescribed. It may take a few weeks for Abilify to kick in but I don't know. The meds will straighten you out so that you can think. They won't completely heal you, but they help. Try it for 6 months and if it doesnt work there is no harm done. You may have to switch meds to get the right cocktail and this takes an average of two years. Don't give up!
