You will note from reading the above thread that this is what happened to Deb (aka 1313). On the other hand, there have been several posts by others who have been very happy with Abilify.

Greg,Thanks for the advice. I am taking Abilify -- and took Zyprexa -- for mania (mixed) with delusional features. I'll keep a careful watch for any symptoms to return...gosh, I hope that doesn't happen...but thanks, just the same. My doctor tells me that bipolars do best on 30mg of Abilify and I will be increasing to 30mg later this week, then in another week, I'll be discontinuing the Zyprexa all together and flying solo on Abilify. We'll see what happens.
