> My experience on Abilify was that after about a month I began experiencing side effects including akathasia - - a common one on this drug - - which was particularly disturbing.
Wait... common... side.. effect ? A common side effect of downing an NSAID is heartburb.
I was beyond restless - - and I couldn't get comfortable.Akathisia'll do that to you.
But a worse side effect was my poor cognitive skills - - a combination of memory loss and confusion.
Blunting -- a surprisingly effective -effect- for those with violent psychosis, an unpleasant side effect for alot of other people. And a common one.
Both of these side effects caused me tremendous suffering - - set me back - - and I had no choice but to discontinue use of Abilify, which I still say, was the worst drug of 38 that I have been on.
38 ? You can really remember each side effect that seems to be obsessively rendered in this video for all those 37 other medications you've tried and know all those medications by heart too ?I know no medication that doesn't come without a side effect even if you don't recognize it.
And yes, if you really are the "Andy Behrman" who has posted these videos and been interview, etc... why not interact with the community here instead of spawning thread after thread (which is a kind of no-no anyhow because after a while people get the point.... wait a while, then see what happens).-- tidings
