For Schizoaffective Disorder "Takes away joy of life. Feel slow and dumb with less personality and ability to joke around. Saliva in mouth, I'm feeling so lame on this med, where I used to be so passionate and full of life, now I just feel lethargic and unamused. It helped balance me out when I really needed it, but after a couple of months, it goes downhill. It's very sad, and I'm fighting to get off it and stay off all meds. I'll fight my mental battle without these numbing meds. I want to find that zest of life again. Also, I don't agree with my diagnosis. So yes, helped for a time, but long term, no, I can't stay on this."

For Bipolar Disorder "I've only been taking this medication for a week, but it has been a life changer. I am no longer irritable, I no longer have this psychotic tension in my head that made me sad and paranoid. I am happier, more capable, and my libido is back. I'm on 5 mg. The only side effect is that I’m very tired multiple times a day, but that should disappear."

For Agitated State "For my OCD symptoms, and they are, or were, severe, 10 mg of Abilify works wonders. Though I am experiencing impulses that I usually don't have-I'm basically binging in what I enjoy most, way more than usual. I'm also gaining weight and am tired a lot, but I'm still giving it an 8/10 because my OCD ruminations, intrusive thoughts, and overall quality of life have GREATLY improved since on Abilify, which has been almost a month."
