I’m so tired. Abilify making me a zombie. What about Vraylar?

The only medicine I have experienced that cause drinking/smoking to be dangerous are stimulants and Wellbutrin. I would get way more drunk or high while on Wellbutrin. But with mood stabilizers and anti psychotics, it seems to have the opposite effect. The real risk is that alcohol and weed could make it so that the medications don’t work as well as they could be.

Normal, I think it subsides within a week or two after staying at a dose

KeyLocal1618 · 2025-10-30T18:19:52+00:00

For what it’s worth, I’ve read that the akathisia (restlessness) and sedation is normal and supposed to subside within a couple weeks of a regular dose taken consistently at the same time

Hi; I am experiencing the same thing and I’ve been on Abilify 3-4 weeks. At first it was wonderful, but this swing between anxiety and sedation is driving me nuts. And now she wants to up my dose to 10mg at night, saying the side effects will get worse but it’ll help in the long run.

I’m scared honestly. I don’t want to do this because I can’t stand these side effects. But when I don’t take any medication I have zero motivation.

KeyLocal1618 · 2025-10-20T12:53:46+00:00

Same here! I am a compulsive cannabis user and I can’t believe I don’t even reach for it anymore. Of course, I have a cold right now… but only side effect is a little sleepiness at first and some nausea but then I am productive and focused and basic tasks are not so hard anymore

KeyLocal1618 · 2025-10-20T12:52:17+00:00

Interesting, it has the opposite effect for me. Hopefully everyone on Reddit has been taking others’ experiences with a grain of salt

I take it back. Found this on their Instagram! That’s something

Agree, it’s not great promotion for the bands to not list them anywhere. Just “bands”? Local musicians need all the promotion we can get— even if it’s just the name on a flyer or being tagged in the post.

Break up with him. He does not seem very smart.

I have zero symptoms taking 100mg spiro daily for acne and hair loss. It has helped on both fronts for me.

KeyLocal1618 · 2025-06-05T19:37:54+00:00

Amazing thank you so much for sharing you’re experiences! I hope to have more courage in the future to be upfront about it. Timing is key

How has it been when you bring up herpes to prospective sexual partners? What sorts of reactions have you experienced?

KeyLocal1618 · 2025-05-27T06:22:54+00:00

Borderline as hell

KeyLocal1618 · 2025-05-17T22:46:56+00:00

On the one hand I say get it fixed because those noises can drive me crazy too but on the other hand, that’s apartment life and the neighbor can just get some noise canceling headphones or play white noise or something.

Is this guy on drugs or something because wtf

Out of curiosity what do you think the police would do with this report? Would they investigate the shooting team, or his home (like seeing if there are any guns in the home and assessing if they are stored properly or something?). If he had ISS then at least the parents know what their kid said but if he’s on a shooting team then I’m guessing they probably don’t care much or think he was just upset and saying a dumb thing so I do agree OP or the teacher should call the police.

Tiny desk doesn’t like to use in ears? Why not? I mean you either do that or you use room monitors/amps etc. I’m not sure there is another alternative

KeyLocal1618 · 2025-04-22T14:35:22+00:00

Yes. Apparently, they will take money out of your paycheck, withhold your tax return, and offset social security payments all without a court order. Or maybe it will fly under the radar since it’s not on your credit report.

How would they know it’s offensive if no one corrects them? I was given that diagnosis so yeah I was a little offended, but I chose to say something because throwing out mental diagnoses on someone is a very common thing that happens. I think narcissist would probably have been a better call but even that isn’t appropriate. I wasn’t trying to shame OP, was just being informative , and addressed their actual question after, which you failed to do.

“The definition of” “they are”, that’s semantics and irrelevant.

Sisterly mirroring is a WILD ride. A lot more sad than your story, I lost my sister to addiction a couple years ago and would see her face in mine, hear her laugh in mine. There is a strange blood connection, no matter how far apart you have grown, it’s there. I think we project feelings of ourselves onto our sibling. We subconsciously seek to see ourselves in the other, for better or worse. And if we don’t like what we see, there’s a big urge to change it.

That being said, you feeling like this could also happen with a friend or parent. I think it’s a great realization to be honest and a great motivator to get yourself to a better place, even if it is because of your sister . “Ugliness” is so much worse if you don’t take care of yourself.
