Hi
Can anyone tell me a bit about Abilify from personal experience? A family member is on it, but doesn't currently talk much.

Im on it. It helps with my moods and paranoia. I find that it helps me. I have been on it for 3 years.

Crystal1414 thank you. I am curious, does it change your ability to play music, or how you feel about listening to music? Has your enjoyment or ease of reading changed?

(If anyone else reading this has experienced a change I would also love to hear that)

I dont think it changes my ability to play instruments or enjoy music. I have not been reading as much as I used to. I am not sure if that is because of the medication or not though.

Crystal1414, thank you :) I always think people's real-life experiences are worth so much.

Da_Zero these are all good points, thank you. Personally I am not in favour of drugs (prefer vitamins) but I can see that sometimes they can be necessary as a stepping stone.
