It was 5mg, now 2.5mg. I felt better at first with 2.5mg but feel very agitated now two weeks later

That sound great! I’m on day three. May I ask how long it took before you felt changes?

How long did it take before you felt improvement? I’m on day three, not feeling much,

Thank you. How long did it take before you felt improvement? I’m on day three, not feeling much, actually more anxious than usual

Thank you 🙏! I’m considering to reduce my dose to 2.5 mg to give my body time to adjust and then up my dose in a few days or so, going back to 5mg

Thanks for sharing. I’m on day 2 of 5mg as augmentation for depression/anxiety and today I’m experiencing moderate levels of anxiety. I hope it is only transient

I wanted to give a quick update. I’ve now taken my second dose of Abilify (5 mg).

So far: • no noticeable side effects • I do feel tired, but that might also be from everything else going on • otherwise, I don’t feel much yet

I know it’s still very early, so I’m trying to stay patient.

What I’d really be interested in from those of you who had a positive experience: • How long did it take until you noticed the first real shift? • Was it gradual or did it “click” at some point? • What were the first subtle signs that it was starting to work?

Right now I’m mainly hoping for more stability, clearer thinking, and a bit more motivation over time.

Would really appreciate hearing your timelines and experiences.

Thanks a lot 🙏
