I had dry mouth, sore throat, dizzy, confused, lethargic, unfocused, chest pain, slurring,cough, shaky, queasy, vomited, stomach cramps, my tongue felt like it was an inch thick, increased thirst/urination, loss of appetite, swollen nasal passages and started getting very sleepy again!!! The chest pain was the WORST!!! I thought I was going to have a heart attack. My doctor replaced Abilify with Xanax, so if you have depression that isn't getting better you might talk with your doctor to see what is right for you if you're having ANY of the symptoms I described. It was definitely a scary time for me. Good Luck to you.

I have been taking abilify for a few months and my suicidal thoughts have disappeared. I am a little more anxious and can't sit still but it's better than the depression and suicidal ideations.

I was given this medication as a piggy back to my Lamictal (which works great as a mood stabilizer also). I love this medicaton! It kicked in immediatly...meaning days to a week. I was doing horrably with my bi-polar depression and this just kicked in and kicked rear! I take it at night so haven't noticed any side effects.

For anyone who has suffered from Severe Chronic Depression and Chronic Fatigue like me, my answer was, Cymbalta 60mgs, Abilify 2 1/2 mgs in the morning. I am not depressed anymore & I have energy to go all day. At bedtime I take Zolpidem 10mgs, (generic Ambien), and I wake up refreshed. It might not work for everyone but I have never felt better in my life.

I took this to help with obsessive psychosis thoughts after being admitted to a hospital for post pardon psychosis and I took it along with some other medications for depression and anxiety. I am on a different medication now because I couldn't afford this one. I have never felt as great as I did when I took Abilify.
