I'd rather gain weight

than be on a medication that doesn't work.

Many of you know that I changed medications a little over 3 weeks ago. Since changing my life hasn't been that well. I phsyically feel like I want to crawl out of my skin. I am planning to change back asap to seroquel though it has made me gain weight. Abilify just isn't for me.

Hi sunshine girl,
I am on seroquel too and I had gained 20lbs since Jan
I was thinking about trying abilify. Sorry it didn't work for you. What do you mean felt like you were crawling out of your skin?

I'm with you on that one, honey! I've been on everything on the market, and I finally found a combination of drugs that works, and I'm sticking with it. Yes, I've gained weight, but I feel more stable than I've ever felt, and I can actually get up in the morning and look forward to the day. I praise God for this blessing every day. I'm not worried about the extra weight. I'm a complete person with or without the extra weight, I have my Lord, I have my family, and I have my MENTAL HEALTH. Amen?

Hi
I'm on Abilify and it took three months before I got some positive results, in the mean time I suffered many side-effects, which caused me to HATE the drug at the time. So I relate to you wanting to crawl out of your skin because you are feeling so unwell all the time. However the drug did end up working for me in the long run. My experience is that three weeks is to soon to decide on the usefullness of this drug, give it a little longer.

well to be honest i have anixiety naturally, and this increased my anxiety.
i felt like i was disconnected with my body, and literally did not want to do anything because i just felt off.
i even comtemplating telling by boss i refused to do work ... scary huh?
crawling out of skin i justmean it felt like by body and my self was on two different planes and it wasn't equalling one person
