Hi guys, my psychiatrist wants to start me on this new med. I will be starting it in the morning. I am feeling quite positive about it and just wanted to hear what you guys have thought of it and if it worked well or not?... those of you who have been on it that is.

It's for the treatment of paranoid schizophrenia

It was either that or raise the Amisulpride but the Amisulpride was making me sleepy.

Anyway thanks,

Lyssie xx

I have been on many meds, and I feel that Abilify is the one for me. I love it. I take 10 miligrams. It dissolves with a burst of minty fresh flavor. Ten minutes later, I get this whoosh of calm. About an hour after that, I have to go to bed, and I have the best sleep of my life. Aside from a few twitches and increased heart rate, it's awesome.
