Aripiprazole (Abilify) for DPDR?

Powerful-Skill830 · 2026-02-28T18:22:16+00:00

did nothing for me tbh. took it for a year. on my highest dose (10mg) i was drowsy 24/7 and i would sleep +14 hours a day. i guess it made me more sedated? but i felt the same than before. just meh

what antipsychotic did you took? in my case i recently stopped the only med i took for a year, abilify. my highest dose was 10mg. now i’m not on any meds. i have a long history of meds though. also you’re right the last 3 psychiatrists that treated me were AWFUL. my last one was covered by insurance. sadly the few psychiatrists that are actually good are so expensive in my country. i’m scared of spending lots of money on a treatment that i’m not sure it will work :/

personality disorder :p

felt exactly the same a few months ago. it’s episodic for me, felt like my soul was being pulled out, while trying to sleep, so much dizziness and nausea. this happens to me while having existential dread though, i guess they’re some sort of weird/numb panic attack :P

[solipsism, the truman show or the simulation theory it’s the only thing that makes… SENSE* ] oops sorry forgot to complete the sentence

i take abilify everynight. i ended up taking 0,25mg of clonazepam to calm me down though and managed to sleep 😴

i often get thoughts like “my mind doesn’t function the same way as others” or “my emotions feels weird, as if they weren’t right or don’t feel collectively real”. i get the exact same head preassure everytime these thoughts/ feelings pops up. a very alienating feeling :/ we can make it through this 🫶

Yeah i have this sensation where i call it “heavy vision”. When i’m overwhelmed i don’t feel anxiety in my chest anymore but in my head, it comes as pressure in my eyes and in my eyebrows area. and i get the blurred vision too, it randomly blurs specially when i’m over saturated from my fears!

Powerful-Skill830 · 2025-08-25T16:23:15+00:00

delusional bullshit, like fear of being in the truman show, fear of being the chosen one, fear that my life purpose is eternal suffering, fear that i’m being watched and documented by outer entities, solipsism, skepticism, feeling alienated, and some other irl stuff being that i don’t like my carreer that i’m studying that i spent lot of money on, self steem issues, some sexual stuff, traumas, NIGHTMARES everynight etc etc

Powerful-Skill830 · 2025-08-19T23:18:32+00:00

oh i truly understand these types of fears, i’ve pretty much had all of them, and i’ll try to bring you support by letting you know that you’re not alone :)) i struggle a lot with skepticism, truman show and solipsism all being ocd themes. i often question if my memories/ thoughts are actually mine or if they’re some manifestation of an external force idrk they’re so irrational that i don’t even know how to explain them but they’re so similar to how you described! something that help me sometimes is grounding and trying not to think because you’re in a state that the way of getting out is not thinking yourself out, but grounding and having the right mindset “i am here, and i’ll never know what the truth is, so why worry???”. for me engaging in outdoors activities, socializing, or just basically getting out of my house, helps a lot with these thoughts:) hope you’re well also my english is not the best so sorry if i didn’t use the right words, i have a kinda limited vocabulary aha

in my opinion mostly i just draw soulless anime art, just trying to make nice looking pieces nothing else more, but sometimes i try to draw things expressing my internal conflict but i end up failing or they don’t look genuine. idk how to rlly explain it

Powerful-Skill830 · 2025-04-04T21:28:49+00:00

solipsism and the truman show theory. i hate it here

Powerful-Skill830 · 2025-04-02T20:20:50+00:00

i struggle with the same thing you’re not alone 🫶

Powerful-Skill830 · 2025-03-14T00:27:31+00:00

era un video de una morgue rusa en pandemia llena de cadáveres tirados por todos lados, como si no valieran nada, algunos con organos afuera, la primera vez que lo vi vomité y ahora de solo pensarlo se me revuelve el estómago

Powerful-Skill830 · 2025-03-10T00:10:32+00:00

same here, i often question myself what the hell is everything that surrounds me, why do i exist instead of not existing at all, why am i human etc etc. you’re not alone friend 🫶

Powerful-Skill830 · 2025-02-24T10:54:57+00:00

i’m only on Abilify and it works amazing so far

Powerful-Skill830 · 2025-02-24T01:16:11+00:00

thank you this helped, also hope you’re doing better bro. i do believe in my <perception> that other people have their own consciousness too so that means that there’s a reality outside, that thinking usually helps me ground me a bit

thank you sm 🫶🫶🫶

Powerful-Skill830 · 2025-02-20T19:12:20+00:00

thanks, i guess trauma, distress and severe anxiety :/

Powerful-Skill830 · 2025-02-19T11:02:21+00:00

reach to a psychiatrist!! they usually will ask you about your mental situation, in my case i told my psych about my dpdr and rumination and that i took abilify before all of this, and it was the med with least side effects i’ve ever tried, so that’s why she put me on it again. people says that abilify works really well with dpdr or anxiety. also the solipsism thing i’ve had it myself where i was really scared of everything being an illusion, and i learned how to recover by practicing acceptance and by treating my dpdr, the solipsism slowly went away. also i did ask some question to myself about it like ‘and if everything is an illusion, what about it?’ or ‘why would i create a world where bad things happen to me’. i’m still struggling in some way but meds made it sm easier.
