Welcome to Psych Central, curiosity. I am so sorry you are suffering from tinnitus. I am not sure why you were on abilify or why you quit using it. Have you talked to your medical doctor about tinnitus. Have you tried ear wax removal drops sold over the counter.

Besides being an active participant in helping oneself at Psych Cental, many people also help support each other by replying to other people's posts. Many people who are actively involved in Psych Central find it helps take them out of their own problems to develop empathy for others. And their problems are more manageable the more they help others.

Some people find the forums give them the compassion and empathy they seek. http://forums.psychcentral.com
