May be you have IBS (Irritable bowel syndrome)

Not really, no painkillers at any point. We suspect IBS but are ruling out everything else medically to find out.

@ Findingreason Abilify Side Effects: Common, Severe, Long Term - Drugs.com
Although incontinence is rare it does happen. Mine was bladder related. If you look on the overdose section of this link you will find that Abilify can affect the bowel. Maybe the change from pills to injections was enough for your bladder to react.
Your body could be highly sensitive to this med. Did your bowel incontinence happen around the time you started on the Abilify? It could be that you are one of the unlucky ones. Also have a look at the gastrointestinal side effects. Has to make you wonder. |
It was both for me so far. I just had to change garments and pants cause I noticed a funky smell and wetness and such and it all went away after. I've been wearing protective garments in the process as I figure this out. I will ask my pdoc about this next week when she is in. Perhaps it is the strong dose of the switch to injections and a slight overlap of taking pills per doctor's orders and then discontinuation of them after two weeks into the injection. That was about a week ago.

I haven't had a chance to really tell them about the incontinence yet but plan to when I get a change this week or next. Thank you for your prayers. <3
