Abilify medication?

oh hamburgers!
V.I.P Member
My doctor prescribed me this for bipolar disorder and indirectly for autism related irritability. It’s making me sleep a lot, but I’m hoping it’s temporary as I’m only on day 4 of it. Does anyone else here take abilify?

The sleep associated with the abilify is really nice though in my opinion at times.. My mom says this medication will likely be the one for me. I think there’s a 90% chance of that being correct as it’s worked wonders for many people. I follow a YouTube channel called autism family and the eldest son Ian has been on Abilify for almost 3.5 years now for autism related irritability. Hearing success stories like that makes me excited to achieve my stability goal.
 
Good luck with this medication. I have been on this medication before and whilst it was useful for what it was prescribed for, I experienced some bothersome side effects from it.
 
Same here April. Did the sleepiness lessen after a bit?
I have been using it for a long time and i do think that after a while it got better. It helped me a lot so i did not think of quitting it.

Maybe you should wait and see for a while and think of the pros and cons of using it.
