Yup I've noticed my concentration has gone down massively whilst on Abilify & it's meant to be one of the better tolerated ones. I can only imagine what some of the worst are like.

I'm going to be in hospital near the end of the month, unless I agree to get it at the hospital, which if it's the one that smells of pee, I might have to do - can't breathe that for 3 days.

I too have lost my drive on Abilify, I still do things but just not with the same passion like you say. I wish I could get it back. Maybe it's mild depression but then again it's probably just the meds.
As for the hospital, best to agree rather than be forcibly taken there. Don't want a stay there longer than you have to.

Yeah I've had this too. A few times whilst taking naps I've had music and or voices shouting things just as I'm drifting away.
