• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

You are taking Abilify first thing in the morning, right? Since it'll wake you up?

If you took it at night last night, you can safely wait till tomorrow morning to take it. Abilify has a very long halflife.

I hope you get some sleep tonight!

Erm, so this am was my first morning of Abilify, last night sucked because I didn't have anything to make me sleep ~ so I didn't crash until 4:30:am ... So far its been quite weird, I've had some weird feelings (body wise) and right now I am in pain, on my left side (don't think its from meds)
I'm just hoping I can sleep a little during lunch. I'm sure that will make me feel better.

Nope I didn't take it last night, but this morning .. I have insomnia + haven't gotten my new sleep aid (since seroquel also acted as a sleep aid). I'm going to get some tylenol pm's for tonight (vanilla flavored) lol

Thank you for your wishes <3

hi,
i tried abilify for a bit. it was useless. then when i became manic they tried seroquel and stopped the mania dead (except for the hyper sexuality). it has really stabilizied me.
however the weight gain sucks. and i'm tired a lot.
so, still praying to god for more healing.
