Exactly why I was hesitant about taking them in the first place. I've never experienced hallucinations or delusions, so I did bring forth my concerns to my psychiatrist and she said that Abilify could be used to treat anxiety-issues as well. None of my doctors seem to want to tell me what symptoms they're trying to treat. They just keep recommending me various medications. Sigh.
