Alternating taking Abilify and going unmedicated

[dynastickitten]

Got on Abilify a while ago after I almost shot myself with my roommate's gun out of pure desperation to end my life. It stopped working recently but I'm alternating taking the medication and going unmedicated. It seems to be working for now. Is anyone else taking Abilify? How is it going for you?

Not currently taking, but I took ability for ~5 years. I gained a lot of weight. But no other side affects. It was 1/7 psych meds I took together so I couldn't rly say how effective it is alone.

I was prescribed Ambilify as well as lamogtrigine, propranolol and more recently fluvoxamine, for a while it helped, lessened my mood swings and their severity, definitely lessened the stuff I see, but my paranoia has convinced me the meds make me oblivious to the bad stuff happening in my life so the past month I've been off meds I think I need to probably start taking them again tho

I have been forcibly injected many times while in a mental hospital. I have a bump on both arms, sometimes they are quite swollen and painful (luckily I didn't take it in the ass). Yes, and I later heard that with healthy lifestyles and food you can also treat the problem...

Abilify fucked me up and almost gave me lockjaw. My face was super tight and I couldn't stop grinding my teeth, which also led to frequent headaches and temporary hearing loss in one ear. On three other medications at once now and those are working a little better so far.
