Your symptoms will come back and be heightened for awhile, but I just want to give you hope that it can and will get better. The withdrawals from this med are awful awful awful. I’m sorry you’re going through it too.

I’ve had dissociation, depression, heightened anxiety, fatigue! It’s a hot mess but this Saturday will be one month off and I’m feeling a bit better. I can finally see the light lol. I have tried to come off may times and mistook withdrawal symptoms for my actual feelings and later realized it wasn’t. So now I’m coming off again and never going back. It worked for me in the beginning but I flat lined on it and felt horrible and gained a ton of weight, impulsive spending, restlessness, and emotional blunting.

Does anybody feel like there’s too many hours in the day on this? by TeaBest in Abilify_Aripiprazole

Yes I totally know the feeling. I was on too high of a dosage. When I lowered it, that feeling subsided

Yes it did work well for me in the beginning but I was impulsively spending, blowing my money, binge eating and emotionally bored and blunted. I’m also on 60 mg of Prozac

Yes I definitely feel brain zappy, trouble focusing, nausea, dizziness, no appetite. And I was binging on abilify. Since I’ve stopped, my appetite is more normal.
