They've all caused intolerable side effects. Restlessness, dizziness, puking, not being able to sleep. I'm on a mood stabilizer/antipsychotic and an anti anxiety. They're the only ones I haven't had bad side effects from.

Abilify seems to be the only one that's never caused side effects. Other people have said it caused them but not me. Some said it made them restless. It made me sleepy but that's cause my Dr accidentally jumped a dose before getting me used to it. I do find I have to take it before bed though.

My Dr wanted to prescribe me lithium before but I didn't think it was a good idea for me. I don't know a lot about it and I'm not good at communicating or being consistent sometimes. I sometimes forget and I heard you shouldn't do that with lithium.

I'm glad it works well for you! I had tried Abilify one time about six years ago and had some issues with the side effects so had to stop. I'm glad though you found something that works for you!
