My Pdoc put my on Abilify for four months. I became extremely agitated, couldn't sleep for three months and becme severely depressed (none of this had ever happened before). He decided I was bipolar (in my forties)even though I had never been manic or severly depressed.
He put me on Depakote which turned me into a zombie. I came off Depakote and have never had another episode again. Huh, you think the Abilify had anything to do with it? Especially when you consider how activating it can be? It would have been helpful to have known it was used for psychosis since it actually put me into a psychotic state. I'm not bipolar, never have been.
