They are extremely hazardous to your health, destroying your metabolism in epic fashion. It is very difficult to properly deal with any other health issues you have while on them. In fact, it is damn near impossible to deal with many of life's hardships while sedated by these medications.

It also takes ****ing decades to get off them.

I'm not sure how abilify effects you personally but anti psychotics tend to shrink the brain. I got so much dumber on them. I still feel stupid now. Socially, my minds capacity to have a conversation at normal speeds was destroyed. My creativity became damn near non existent. Problem solving became extremely difficult. Memory was reduced to laughable levels.

Maybe you are just so smart you don't even notice. I doubt it though, most likely you are just full of ****.
It's different for everyone......for some us they work, especially at low doses.

I was actually off them for 9 months so I have a direct comparison.....the main thing they do is keep me sane, aside from that there is a little shaking when I'm nervous and minor weight gain.....it's not ideal but it's better than being psychotic.

As far as being smart I do have a PhD so yeah maybe I just don't notice what is a large impact for you...
