I had to quit Abilify because it was killing me.
I was agitated and anxious the whole day, to the point that I couldn't do anything. I stayed in the computer for 7 minutes, and then ran to bed, but then I had to get up and do something else, because nothing would sort of "calm me down." So I quit, and after 3 days I still feel my heart pounding in my chest. I started to drink a little alcohol to calm myself down, and I was surprised to realize I no longer get "drunk." I just get more calm, but not drunk.
I hope this is not permanent, but it's scary. I hope Abilify didn't mess me up for good. I feel my heart pounding in my chest and can see it if I stand in front of a mirror. It's like a little bump every second. Abilify was a nightmare.
