Abilify made me feel like I was speeding out of my mind .first off its for the manic phase and for me thats the best part of being bipolar .Being manic can have its down sides but its a hell of alt better then being Depressed. We are react different to meds. and their side effects but if makes you feel bad dump it their to many other choices out there and they are can take weeks or months to start working so why waist time .Yes ive been told by my doc. that over time the side effects will go away but very rarely do they. Ive been on some meds. for 3 years and still have the same side effects as when I started them .
