Sure. I had a bout of sleepy depression. Very emotional after coming off. Had to come off due to insurance/move to California from New Hampshire! Very stressful time. I didn't feel any physical effects except the weight loss.
Abilify keeps me steady and able to think problems out better. Like in a more positive, less-critical-of-myself way. I make better, more mature and thoughtful decisions.
I lost all this slowly. I did loose about 18 lbs in short time off it but it really was my miricle drug! I seem to find a reason to get outta bed and not hopeless.
Getting off abilify is a piece of cake compared to coming off some anti-depressents, i.e., Effexor and SSRI's like sertraline (can't remember the brand name)
Hope this helps!
