That's true for you too. I know you've been trying to do everything else possible first, as I did, and you've been doing well on trilafon. So maybe you need your dose adjusted. Or maybe you just need to take some deep breaths and remember there's always clozapine. There's probably always some other meds but for me it was clozapine.
Thank you, Rainbow. But does it work for depression?

I got dystonia from Abilify and have stopped it. I cannot exercise w dystonia. It went away.
