I'm scared and stupid?

Posted by TrishP on December 1, 2006, at 19:03:04

Ok - I'm scared of taking an antipsychotic (Abilify) for the long term. What if I end up with weird side effects in the future that are permanent?

I know all drugs have side effects.

When I skip a dose of Abilify I feel a little down and get that shaky (akathesia) feeling inside.

On the other hand, I get side effect from SSRIs.

Sometimes I wonder if I wouldn't be better off taking Wellbutrin/Effexor/Klonopin.

I feel somewhere between stupid and scared. Like I'm playing russian roulette with my mind & body with Abilify. I'm just not sure.

Yikes!

Has anyone out there been taking Abilify for a long time as a mood stabilizer?
