Yes, and then some. Had 2mg Lorazepam to calm down.

So, I bought generic Abilify. If it does not work, I'm in trouble and probably will be hospitalized. We shall see. I will start taking it two days from today. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it works.

I will take generic Abilify tomorrow morning and see what happens. I have a month's worth of brand Abilify still so if it does not work, I will be ok for a month.

I cooked dinner today. I've been feeling a difference since the increase in Zoloft. I took my meds tonight. I need to refill my pill box it's empty.

I took the generic Abilify this morning. So far, nothing is different. I think the difference will be noticeable in a week or so though. I taught a student this morning and had no problems.

I got sleepy after I came back and took a nap. I have another student tonight. I feel ok. I have no other side effects.

I'm on my second day of generic Abilify and have not noticed any difference yet. I feel fine. I worked all day today and am feeling tired but well.

I would only occasionally forget my medication even when my memory was not good. I have a weekly case that I keep them in and I used to even set up alarms for particular parts of the day that I had to take. and of course the one that I take before sleep if I don't take it I won't be able to sleep so that I never forget.

Still IP but even then I forget my meds at times. Sometimes the nurses remind me and sometimes even they forget. It is usually only Clonazepam so I guess if I forget it I don't need it.

On day four of generic Abilify, I took a nap before I started working and was ok afterwards. I do feel sleepy at times. However, I don't notice any difference with brand Abilify yet. I came home exhausted though. I need to sleep. I think that generic Abilify is working and am happy.

I take all my meds at night, so if I forget I don't sleep. So I have a built in reminder.

I have been taking generic Abilify for about a week now. It works but has side effects of sedation and weight gain. I am going to try to stay with generic Abilify for two months and if I gain much weight, I will stop it and return to brand Abilify.

I refilled my pill box yesterday and I've taken all the meds I need to take so far today. I just need to take my after dinner Latuda and then take my meds before bed.
