Abilify has helped immeasurably, as an adjunct to Effexor. |

On a good note, I do feel like it has toned down my mania...but I feel too down. |

It's really sad because the medicine helped with depression and severe mood swings but my foot started to jerk uncontrollably and I have gained 30 pounds, yikes! |

When the doc put me on this, I thought for sure we had a winner. Boy, was I wrong. My feet started to swell up,( they looked liked fred flintstone feet) . I looked up the side effects and it wasn't on there. So now I am tring other meds. |

Anxiety, Agitation, Insomnia |
| Comments |
I took Abilify for 6 weeks, while it took care of my irratability and took the edge off the depression, it made me extremely anxious. so much so that I couldn't sit still, couldn't focus on simple tasks or think straight. At night the insomnia was unbearable, if I could fall asleep I was still waking up every 30 minutes with racing thoughts and heart palpatations. |

insomnia, overactive bowel, dizziness |
| Comments |
The long 75 hour half life is a killer -- even taking it in the morning, means there's almost a full dose still in your system by bedtime. I'm dying for lack of sleep, and clonopan isn't enough to offset, not even serequel, and I can't take two antipsychotics at once |

This has worked for me, but I'm not sure if I can handle the weight gain. Discussing some other options with my doctor now. |
