I took Abilify in the form of sublingual tablets for about four months and my memory seemed to have worsened. I'm use to taking Abilify in regular oral tablets, but for a time I discontinued them and refused to take them, so I was prescribed to take the sublingual tablets to ensure they went down my throat. Since taking the sublingual tablets, I can't seem to be able to read without having to jot down notes to remember the details and to have to reread to make connections. I find this way of reading extremely difficult and frustrating. I don't know if when I automatically went off the medications completely that it caused some brain damage, or whether it's the sublingual tablets that has affected my memory and thinking so drastically. I don't know if it has caused permanent damage. I couldn't remember my dreams when I was on the sublingual tablets. Usually I could recall quite a bit of information about my dreams. I'm now on 10mg of the regular oral tablets for Abilify and my mind seems to be able to function better, but still, there seems to be some abnormal forgetfulness and difficulty thinking.

Don't you have an appointment with your doctor soon? You might mention it to him.

I'm on 15mg of Abilify and I can understand where you are coming from. I have difficulty concentrating on reading materials and I have to take notes as well. I am in college and I have to be able to remember what I read. I even had to read your post twice. I never took those other tablets that you were talking about, but I think that I have been affected by the regular tablets. I plan on talking about that with my psychiatrist and you should probably do the same.

I think you should tell your doctor about it as well.
I have the liquid kind of abilify.

Sublingual hits your blood stream quicker, and the effects might spike more sharply after taking them as a result. There's something similar when you take regular seroquel a few times a day, when compared with seroquel XL. The latter is sedating, but not cripplingly so.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
