I have been taking Abilify for many years. (5 mgs). I like it. I don't recall any terrible side effects. It helps me alot, I think. I'm also taking Welbutrin, which I just started about 2 or three weeks ago, not sure if I'm liking it or not. I take Topamax and Lamictal also.
Hope you feel better soon.

Not to mention that about a month ago I cut off the middle finger of my right hand, so I am sort of a convelescent right now and am not really able to do much of anything worth a crap. So anyhow, after reading what everyone has to say about abilify and the side effects, I am pretty much terrified to take the 5 mg he gave to me try.

Has anyone else ever had this combo before (I know its random, but maybe one of ya'll have)? I really hate the side effects you have to go through to get some relief and right now with the misery of my finger beating down on me I am not sure I can add to that with all the side effects described elsewhere.

So, anyhow, if anyone has any grand words of wisdom, please share. I would much appreciate anything anyone has to say.
