I'd give the AAPs another shot. Abilify can be a lil "hot" for some. What was ur dosage?

Are you drinking or using street drugs?

The Abilify was seriously... oooh. No. I... Jesus. It was a frightening experience. Four doses, two 2.5mg, two 5.0mg, had me going through two weeks of dissociative mental breaks with an auditory hallucination [she ruined one of my favorite names] with SH warning

Possible trigger:

cutting behavior. I'd literally not know what had happened, having dissociated completely with only blips of memory, come to, and see what looked like... bluntly stated, a murder scene in my bathtub. I have a long history of self-harm, it having started again a few weeks prior to the Abilify, but worsened with it, and "she" just made it 100,000x worse. Behavior is now gone again, having stopped about a month after.

I do not drink, I do not use street drugs. Nothing. I only take what is prescribed to me.

At the time, I was on 150mg of Welbutrin XL, 150mg of Lamictal, and 1.5mg of Klonopin.

I'm not on 150mg Welbutrin XL, 200mg of Lamictal, 1.5mg Klonopin, 15mg Adderall XR, and 100mg Topamax.

The Abilify experience seriously may traumatized me a bit. AAPs just scare the holy living hell out of me.

Thanks for your response.
