Hi Jeroen,
Please don't resort to death. That's a permanent "solution" for a temporary problem. I'm sure this can be fixed!When I started on Abilify I developed odd jaw movements that I couldn't control. Its part of the Extra Pyramidal side effects of antipsychotics. My doctors prescribed Cogentin (benztropine). Cogentin counters the EPS of antipsychotics and other meds. Ask you doctor about it.
Are you taking an anti-depressant? Maybe you could talk to your doc about that too. Maybe make an emergency appointment and tell them how you are feeling. (I take Remeron and Wellbutrin).
Best of luck and lots of love,
dm
