How long were you on it? » psychobot5000

Hi P-bot.

My own Abilify experience was ultimately mixed, so unless I get some way to counteract the fiendish worry-making effect it had, I won't be trying it again myself.

But I was able to manage the physiological side-effects you report – especially that awful drowsiness! — by taking just 2.5 mg every other day. I think the sedation was gone for me about 2½ weeks after starting 5 mg/day.

That's one way to use a long half-life to advantage: spread out the doses over days.

Can I ask how long you were on it? Thanks. In some ways it was helpful to me, but too much of a mixed bag, alas.
