QUOTE=simonesparrow;4199445]I stopped taking it after two weeks, but my sleep has been very disturbed, and I had terrible nightmares of drowning as a form of mandated suicide, and also threatened to shoot my mother. I've had some very bloody dreams in the past, also, being stabbed and disfigured.

Hard to know where this is all coming from. Is this "normal" for someone who
suffered intense trauma as child?:[/QUOTE]

Hi Simone,
Abilify can definitely cause nightmares. Keep in mind certain medications can stay in your system for a week or longer after you stop taking them..definitely the safe road to bring it up at the doc's. I hope the nightmares ease up..
