Depot preparation? You go to your local health station with the syringe and they inject you. The prep work for that is mostly 30 min when you buy it at your pharmacy. Drug interractions?, the pharmacist that gave you the syringe would have told you if any of your current medication does not work in combination with abilify.@@drannamd
@@AyoubHerchi-z2mI am not sure. Never been much involved in the recovery.I would say from a couple of weeks to months. In the last episode, it was full or partial hospitalisation for about 4-6 weeks.
I was on Abilify a number of years ago, when all the commercials for it were on TV. It made me very aggressive, I remember actually wanting to get into a fight. Thank goodness my time on it was brief, and that I never actually got into a fight.
I took antipsychotics for 10 years, and lost my personality, motivation, and gained 200lb. When I was switched to other meds, my clarity came back, my zest for life returned, I realized that I hadn't lost my intelligence. I'm sad to say these drugs stole 10 years of my life and cost me a marriage and the respect of my child (who would respect the human equivalent of a slug?)
This med has improved my negatives symptoms greatly if you think this is the worst one out there you haven't tried first generation antipsychotics and Risperdal.
Thank God that I found someone who I can agree with. This chemical compound (abilify) has changed my life. It’s so funny to see people talk shit about something that they don’t understand whenever some dope head, good ball on the internet projects his biased opinion and claims that it’s a 100% facts FOR ALL people lmao
This is a eye opening relief...I suffered for years under Abilify not knowing what the problem was... Kept telling the doctors and nurses something was wrong... no one was listening.! Now TRUTH
@@Mumbo_Jumbo_Kiwi.1 Would say about 4 years. I have always been an proponent for injections. She did relapse a couple of months ago. As per usual in these cases, she instead went with tablets. Took them, and she noticed she would suffice with only half a tablet per day. Couple weeks later and even that tablet was halved. Before going into mania and psychosis, the tablet was 1/8 of the perscribed amount. After that, in the psychiatric ward for about an month. When it comes to bipolarism and schizophrenia, this constant "i am fine now, I will no longer use medicine" mentality is the problem. Injections solves this issue. You will get the dose as an over time releasing dose, heard that the effect might weaken during the last days before the new injection, but that is what the tablets are for. I am somewhat tired of this, cleaning up completely trashed appartments. Either get back the mental hospitals of old, or have the medicine injections court ordered.
I have a brother who is is bipolar and everything you have said here is so very accurate. In and out of psych wards constantly and always stops taking the medication prescribed or in such small amounts until a mania. Very sad, family is currently trying to get the court to order that there must be monthly injection to finally solve this but he says he will give up if it goes though.. difficult situation and something I will always have to live with. Thanks for your comment
@@johnjakes8389I've been court-ordered psychiatric care and the nurses all recommend the injection 💉 form of Abilify over the pills but I hate shots and worry about the long term side effects so they let me have it my way. I don't know of it's bc I stopped taking the injection form and the pills aren't as effective but I have noticed a drop in my mood since coming off the 1 month dose. Mileage may vary from person to person. I just wish I could get a better education on how these drugs work and what it's doing to my body long term... I'm Bipolar 1, mildly Schizzoeffective and Autistic
Someone working for my state gave me this and I was on it for a year of misery. I was given it for depression because I was out of work in my 20s. The state made me sign up with the drug maker to get it for free because I was poor. After I took it for depression I was told it was an antipsychotic drug, before then I was lied to and told it was developed for that but it was suited for depression and anxiety. I was unable to think and began to lose cognitive functions. People started to call me crazy and I began living on the streets. Worst drug in the world. I live in Oregon fyi.
Nobody cares because I am not white. Shit like this ruined America for me. One of many reasons I am leaving this racist trap of a country. If youre not white forget about healthcare, school, money, career, equal rights lmao.
Dave: Sorry to hear, that's terrible, but transferring your situation to "not being white" isn't fair. Poor is a serious problem even if you want to succeed, and black is even harder, but it is possible. At least half the country is NOT racist, probably more like 75%. It does take a LOT of motivation, and mental issues (even just day to day pressure) can make that seem insurmountable for many.
Gothead420 my mind exploded when you said common. To me it is bazar and life destroying. I think the point of it all is supression of the sick and poor. If only i got the minimum help required i could have kept my life and careers. I just wanted a beta blocker.
There was a tv commercial in my state for a legal class action lawsuit over Abilify. I looked into it and there were hundreds more people like me in Oregon. The point of it all was we were told we were getting healthcare and the fact was we were treated for something we didnt need instead.
I took abilify for about 2 years and it made my face puff up, I gained about 40lbs due to increased appetite (I was ALWAYS super hungry), I was so irritable, and I definitely made more (stupid) impulsive choices... I've been off it for about 2 years and my life has gone nowhere but up!
Patrick Keane I was on it as well. It was making me eat while sleeping and made me very sleepy all the time. So I gained weight also. I stopped taking all my meds because I was turning into a zombie and I have done so much better just keeping tabs on my moods and trying to manage things naturally. I still have some trouble but nothing like when I was all drugged up.
The Abilify commercials were kind of creepy. In the commercial there was a little doll walking around that looked like the torchered soul that was suffering from depression. The person would smile at the doll after taking an Abilify.
Abilify is used by my autistic brother and it turned him from smashing his head into walls and self mutilating whenever he got stressed, to doing chores and being relatively calm. This medication really works for some people.
I completely agree .. my doc prescribed this for my TBI to help me with aggression and irritability and on the third day it made my symptoms 100 percent worse! In fact I was so bad one night I don’t remember what I was doing and couldn’t control how I was acting! Too scary 😱 to give this drug a chance. Such a shame to hear they are treating juveniles with this medication! I pray this stops soon!
I gained 80 pounds on this drug and I haven't been living for 8 years. I finally made the decision to come off it carefully and I will face the withdrawals with grace and bravery.
I have schizoaffecting disorder and take abilify. Everyone reacts to each medication different. I have been taking it for months now and it saves me life, that won't be the case for every. Just work with your doctor to find the right medication. Also take all advice with a grain of salt.
I had a reaction called akathesia from abilify. It is a horrific restless feeling that makes you want to crawl out of your skin and it lasted for weeks. It was around 9 years ago and my stomach drops when I see the name abilify. One of the worst times of my life
Nicole Steele i also had a very bad reaction from it about 10 years ago. I had tremors so bad I couldn't write and I could barely sit and sleep. I had to stay on it for a while because my doctor thought it was for attention. A friend of mines, his mother went into a coma because of it too. I'm happy I got off of it before anything super bad happened.
Nicole Steele - curious...do you recall what size of the dose you were on? I ask because I'm currently taking it...with no side effects that I'm experiencing...but I'm not sure what a typical dose is...my dose is apparently low
Bit Phreak her side effect is a something patients show within the first week. Everyone reacts differently and the side effect list is huge for abilify. Long term ones are less well known and the known side effects are a legion of dangers you would likely avoid in food items.
Psychiatry forces me to take it. I've lost all creative ability, lust for life and am constantly drawn to porn, cigarettes and sugar. I don't think it attacks the impulse control center but cuts off dopamine supply to the frontal cortex, making the craving for it augment. You produce dopamine a lot when you gamble or have sex so that could explain. Studies have not proven yet that dopamine excess in the brain is the cause of psychoses but since anti-psychotics manage to sedate someone without putting them to sleep it is a very convenient theory for psychiatry to present as fact.
yes dopamine in excess is the reason we have anti psycotic medication. The problem with the most effictive drugs is that it blocks too much dopamine causing depression. abilify exists to combat apathy. you have no one to blame but yourself when you bitch to the doctor about mild lazyness confused with life altering apathy.
it definitely makes you wanna eat more, I was pretty athletic before now I'm gained some wieght. To takle it I some time take magic truffles. It helps, made me feel more 'human' and I could reach out for help(called a helpline to cope with depression). Instead of doing nothing, and leave it to 'blaming myself'.
i was just prescribed abilify and landed here during my research. I am hearing exactly nothing good about this drug and i'm honestly afraid to even start it, and I don't think I'm going to.
Exactly what I felt when getting off it. I had horrible muscle rigidity hallucinations and couldnt poop for the entire time without lax (TMI) and only slept 20 mins a night. and felt totally empty inside once I stopped. I hope youre off and feel better now and something wlse is working better for you.
psychiatrists treat the symptoms of trauma and not the cause, this is the fundamental problem. Why do they do this? Because that is what they have been trained to do. Why? Because by treating the symptoms the cause never goes away, so the symptoms keep returning, therefore the symptoms need to be treated FOREVER, which brings in huge amounts of revenue for the drug companies and the doctors. If they prioritised treatment of the cause, in many cases the symptoms would go away, thus they would not need treating and drug company shareholders would suffer
You're saying mental illness has everything to do with psychology. Schizophrenia which is what abilify is used to treat is caused from a hardware and chemical imbalance in the brain. It is a disease that needs treatment and ignores "trauma." might want to rethink your stance on mental illness
@@chapstic593 There is zero scientific proof of the existence of the chemical imbalance concept, it is merely a myth they perpetuate to justify what they do. This truth is quietly admitted by many psychiatrists
Although I haven’t had any of the problems he mentioned, it has made me gain 65 pounds and destroyed my motivation and excitement for life. I would not recommend this medication to anyone!
Yup. Abilify is in my toolbox to manage my AuDHD and schizoaffective bipolar symptoms. Otherwise my disorganized thinking wouldn’t allow me to get from A to Z. He trippin’. *Do you know what HAS negatively impacted my impulse control?* *_Untreated ADHD and psychotic mania._* 🤔
Well.........in my case abilify worked wonders for my depression with minimal side effects. However, I take a VERY low dosage and am hyper-vigilant about any possible adverse effects. I think some patients have either been misdiagnosed or prescribed excessive dosages, resulting in these problems.
I'm on a pretty high dose, and it's worked wonderfully for me, too, along with the rest of my cocktail. People don't realize that, unfortunately, medication and treatment is trial and error. Everyone is different and what works for one mentally ill patient may not work for the other. And it takes a lot of self awareness, too.
Update: not on that stuff anymore. It definitely stabilized my mood but I always felt like I was in a funk. Didn't have too many impulsive slip-ups while using it (I was on probation at the time and had one weekend where I let loose). Currently on Nortriptyline for sleep aid/depression as a result of a brain surgery that I had in August 2020. It worked for me for a bit but I didn't use it past 6 months.
I must say that these problems are probably caused by using Ability at the doses suggested for problems other than depression adjunct therapy. I used Ability at a very low dose, 2 - 4 mg., and it helped my antidepressant work in stopping my incessant ruminating and obsessive thinking. That's probably where it's safest. It's prescribed at higher doses for psychosis and other problems, and I assume that's when it has these disastrous side effects. I have to say that, once my obsessive thinking stopped with the low dose adjunct therapy Abilify, I was able to stop taking the medicine, and the thinking patterns never emerged again. I would suggest ONLY prescribing Abilify as a low dose adjunct therapy to antidepressants. Big pharma needs to pay BIG for their damages!
Dave Jam Only if they can afford it. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis as a 21-year-old college student. I then spent many years in desperate need of care I could not access because I was "uninsurable" due to a pre-existing condition. I've been involved in the MS and disabilities community for over 20 years, and I can say without any hesitation that there is a *staggeringly huge* difference between the "excellent health care" the upper and upper-middle class have access to and the not-so-excellent health care everyone else has access to in this country.
People get mad at me when I say the pharmaceutical companies are unethical and that you shouldn't trust them or take things that you don't actually need to take but here you go this is what happens when you try to treat mental health problems with pills instead of skills
I was put on Abilify starting at age 13. It was AWFUL! It made my mood/depression symptoms worse I was crying at night had shakiness night sweats seizures and gained a lot of weight. I never considered gambling or shoplifting on it.
My 14 year old son was prescribed this because he has autism and was suffering from depression. He was on his fifth day of taking it along with this prozac and wellbutrin which he had been taking for 2 months already when he suddenly started having painful twitching in his right foot, it moved up to his shoulder and eventually his face. He was sweating profusely and his face was contorted along with his arms and his foot, he had a severe reaction, it was one of the scariest things I've experienced in my life, he's currently in the hospital under sedation and being monitored.. please do your full research before taking this drug.
Fluoxetine increases levels of abilify in the system. This is actually a known drug drug interaction…fluoxetine reduces the enzymes that break down abilify. so doses of abilify generally have to be reduced when in combination.
I was prescribed Abilify for my anxiety disorder. I stopped taking in the first 2 months because it made me worse than I already did. I'm glad I stopped taking it. The fact that they list the side effects on the commercial as ironically mellow music plays didn't help matters much either.
Me too! I took it around 2006... My shrink insisted that I wasn't BP (which I am) but gave me this crap anyway. It was the worst experience of my life... I was so afraid and anxiety ridden. When I would smoke pot (and pot is the best thing I've ever used for mental illness) I literally could only take one hit as it made the anxiety and strange thoughts (kind of indescribable) so so much worse. It was a nightmare and I was so much better after I finally decided to stop taking it.
I took it for barely 2 months and I had the opposite problem: I was stoned all the time. And not happy or peacefully stoned, it was so bad I couldn't even feel apathy. It was a full chemical lobotomy. Fortunately I was still slowly able to figure out what was happening (everything in my head was slow) and within a couple days of being off it "I" came back.
are you saying this with regard to mental illness...? that's completely inaccurate. you can't love someone so hard that it 'fixes' their mental illness. :/
Most of these people are either in denial about their condition or have never suffered from a mental illness. I had PPD after the birth of my son. This was most likely due preexisting ADHD & OCD that was exacerbated by having a child on my own (i was married to a man who was in Afghanistan when the child was born). Prozac saved my damn life. I'm grateful these drugs exist. Drug-induced mania is not exclusive to ablify (or even psychiatric drugs) and the presenter is being dishonest by not stating that. If you have an underlying mood disorder, you cannot take antidepressants or antipsychotics without a mood stabilizer. The rest of you can go eat an avocado and bathe in coconut oil to treat your brand of bullshit.
Psychiatric pharmaceuticals are a tricky subject. They offer an imperfect solution to problems. It seems like this is the way to practice psychiatric medicine. A psychiatrist tries prescribing a patient a drug. If the patient doesn't have too many completely screwed up life crippling "side effects" or can't afford a better similar drug, that's the patient's life now: taking that drug. Psychiatry is now chemically doing what it seems like they used to do back in the day with "brain surgery." Poke a hole in the skull, stab into a part of the brain, and hope for the best. There is too much push for treating problems with pills and seems like it often causes more problems than it fixes. There doesn't seem to be enough of a push on fixing the underlying problem. Doctors are too busy to go through the process of finding out what is messed up inside someone's head and just gives them a pill that will slow their mental faculties down to make them able to behave better (in some cases) while it causes their body to slowly rot from the inside out.
I had Akathesia whilst in hospital in 2006. It is absolutely horrific. The psychiatrist wouldn't give me anything for it. The next day I tried to commit suicide. That's when I woke up to Bigpharmafia. Abilify also made me gamble I lost about £150k. My psychiatrist said I would have to be on antipsychotics, anti depressants and sleeping tablets for the rest of my life. After being on Abilify for 13 years and losing all that money, I went to my doctor and said I wanted to come off it. I came off it in 6 months easily. I should have only been on it 3-6 months max, criminals all of them.
They wrecked all my family members me included They work for the devil to k us slowly.. 😡😡😡 May almighty creator venge us and ease all the innocent souls wrecked by this pmafia drug dealers
@@heatherulm8587 True but if someone is cussing and cursing someone who made him, I guess he really deserves it. Regardless if you believe in God or not, judgment day will come to each one of us.
@Stefan-wi9cb sometimes people curse God maybe because they're suffering in physical pain and are sick and tired of people saying it's God's purpose. Not saying it's necessarily God's fault but people say things out of anger or extreme suffering .
I don't see that at all,IV just started ability & IV got to say it's helping me,I'm only on 15 ml a day,& I feel great no more paranoia no more hearing voices,& no more anxiety attacks,so I'll just see how it goes from here,if any of this starts I'll just confront my GP
@@thc7865 Not them but similar story. Turned me from an excitable kid who got perfect grades to a depressed mess who slept through every class and dropped out of school at 16. I gained 100lbs and could feel nothing. I got addicted to being angry because it was the only emotion that burned through the medicine. I could not empathize effectively or form emotional bonds. I was essentially chemically lobotomized It took me years to work through the damage antipsychotics caused. And even longer to ever trust a doctor again.
Yes when i took it 2mg i only slept 20 minutes a night. I am absolutely serious. And i hated my bed and only slept on the floor/rug. I couldn't go to bed i honestly felt like beds were disgusting idk. It altered my perception. I hallucinated and i had horrible muscle rigidity and problems going to bathroom and withdrawal was totally emptiness feeling. 😔
I was a victim of abilify in 2008 at 13 years old, I ended up in a psych center for six months after being prescribed I could no longer write or hold my neck straight, everyone thought I was faking it until a old janitor told my aunt I have early Parkinson’s, till this day i struggle writing and hyper sexuality and impulsiveness. I’m in college and I get very good grades but sometimes it’s extremely hard for me to write.
Worst medication I’ve ever taken. Suicidal thoughts, inappropriate things and impulse control problems. I don’t even know why I was given it. Please stick to better medication and more natural ways of health.
When I was 10 I was force to take the meds, idk why was honor student parents separated, I was just living my life never argued but my parents was in a custody battle for 6 years. Ever since I took the meds I could not remember my name, could not eat, seeing imaginary things, kidney, heart problems. Impulse was out of control I could not think. I could not even walk I look like a pale zombie the school got the state involved and father won my custody. The doc who gave me the meds was not legally allowed to be near children. Even to this day I’ve never recovered. It’s like a piece of me died 15 years ago . And every day I’ve been losing more and more memories. I’ve getting treatment ever since.
Really did you really had actually more impulse control problems while being on it?. Vs off Thats the thing i ask my myself because i have had a tendency to buy stuff i already had before or stuff in fact i really didnt need. Did you had some kind of similar symptoms?. Where you could not always resist those impulses. I decided some several days ago to keep getting my seroquel and quit my abilify. By quitting i mean not 100% cold turkey that can be dangerous. As i have experienced it from last time some 3 years ago i did quit both my abilify and seroquel. I was almost ending up getting assault charges against me. That was the reason why i was forced to go back on it. But this time its half cold turkey which means i keep my seroquel because i know that even though it being anti psychotic med that its side affects is not the same as abilify. Plus it dont got addictive potientiel the same way as abilify have. For the majority of people who are prescribed it. But this is just me why i think abilify makes some people actually more impulsive is because it in fact blocks dopamine in the brain as i have read some studies articles about it. Not because i trust everything that stands on the internet but its just my theory
Abilifys ability to actually do this is helping me so much. I can actually do things now! So while many people don't need this help and it'll make them reckless, for people like me we need it to just function normally.
@@johndoeredfeather9600 I was on 5mg, upped to 7.5mg. The effectiveness has kinda died down a bit. I wonder if I should go to 10? Still helping quite a lot though.
@@Otome_chan311 by nature of decreasing dopamine and suppressing braim function, abilify does not do these things. Moving more is because it causes restlessness/akathesia, but it doesn't come with the usual pleasure from completing tasks as dopamine is crucial to the reward system
@@nihil8436 idk how it works but off of abilify I'd just have a "wall" that stopped me from doing things. While on it I can actually do the things I need to do. I don't really get restless/akathesia at all from it.
I just recently got diagnosed with bipolar disorder and prescribed this medication. And I don't know why but it's making me feel more bipolar than I ever did before taking it. One moment I'll be fine just relaxing the next moment I'll be crying. I feel crazy at this point I don't even know if I have bipolar disorder because I've never felt this way before I've never felt this in the emotional ups and downs until taking this medication. I feel crazy and honestly I just seriously need somebody else out there who's gone through something similar to talk to me because I'm afraid to tell the people I love that I'm scared of this medication because I don't want them to think I don't want to get better. I'm just afraid I'm going to get worse.
Hey Lovie, please get a second opinion. I was on Abilify after I found out that I was diagnosed with BiPolar. It made me worst than ever and my symptoms were worst than they had ever been!!! I also felt numb to emotions!! So fast forward 9 yrs and I have had 2 other therapists which both said I am not bipolar, just have depression at times with hardcore anxiety!! Those Abilify meds had me acting EXTRAAAA!!?!!! I hope you are doing and feeling much better and getting all the love you need. God bless you Sweetie! 🥰
@@lovealwaysshalisha if a medication is making you feel scared or worse stop taking it it's not worth it I remember I was taking a medication that made me see shadow people and I cannot make this up yo .... I asked someone to look up the side effects for me because I was scared and it said one of the side effects is seeing shadow people like bro oh heck no I stopped taking it immediately cuz that was not OkAy! And I'm not making this up you can literally look up some medications that make you see shadow people I think it's sad.
I can't exactly relate personally, but a loved one has been through what you're describing for many years. Unfortunately, our medical system and especially the psychological part of it has been for a very long time, 'controlled.' There are no problems for which a drug is not a solution with these people, and that's for those who prescribe them not even the manufacturers. It's an unchecked greed and money machine being formed by those who stand to gain the most at the expense of those it is supposed to help. There is a good chance there's nothing wrong with you at all.....but I'm no professional nor do I know your situation. Just do your best to make sure you trust the people you share anything with
I've been on abilify for about 3 years can't say that I want to suddenly Gamble but I can say that my hallucinations have stopped definitely a little scared by this video but what can I do I either take abilify and try to live a regular life or don't take it and go absolutely crazy mental breakdown
I will agree with this gentleman. I was given three separate dosages of ability injection over a three month period. With every injection my health and overall state deteriorated and started having serious complications, including being extremely tired, having muscle spasms all the time and twitching, emergence of headaches which would make me want to lay down and rest and sleep usually - I refuse to ever receive a injection of a pharmacutical anti-psychotics or anything relating to it again with my experiences I've suffered from ability.
You're not alone matthew, it did the same thing to me and I'm only just waking up out of this haze the injections had me under. It's upsetting that we can't trust so called "medical professionals" in today's era.
This stuff made me not able to walk correctly, my right ankle kept tensing and curling up. Something I’ve never experienced before. And not to mention my tiredness.🤦♀️
As a pharmacist, yes Abilify can cause impulse control issues in patients. However, I will take a stand that it is unethical to report on a side effect of a drug without giving context regarding how common it is. It is a rare side effect, which in medical terms means less than 0.1%, or 1 in 1000 people, will get it. According to the FDA, who reported on this in July 2016, says that since it was released in 2002, less than 200 people have been reported to have this side effect. While the true number of people who have this side effect are likely to be a bit higher, this does show that it is still pretty rare. Do not get me wrong, I am not saying that stuff like this is not an issue, and any drug which affects the brain will potentially have serious consequences whether you like it or not. However, we cannot disregard this drug, which has helped much more people than have been affected by this side effect. This only indicates that more doctors may need to be aware of the potential side effects of these meds, the patient needs to be monitored by their friends, family and medical team and higher risk patients should be under the supervision of a psychologist or psychiatrist.
I think its way more important that people understand theyre taking such a huge gamble. A gamble they may not be entirely aware of, especially when it can ruin or end your life. For some, 1-1000 is a gamble not worth taking. I dont see how this could possibly be viewed as unethical. Reporting on side effects, that affect people to this degree and in cases of other medications with more severe side-effects like, suicide or death, is a great service to the people. The difference of being told 0.1% and 200/200 000 can seem substantially different. Those are 200 people, your Aunt, my Mom, that are paying for a product and are having such adverse affects from that product that it is ruining their lives.
I never said that it is unethical for people to not know their drug’s side effects. What I said was that it is unethical for people to not tell patients how rare a side effect is when they talk about it. Additionally, all drugs such as Abilify that have an effect on the brain will have massive side effects, but if we don’t have them, there will be much larger consequences. For example, this drug is used in type 1 bipolar disorder, which has a major characteristic of mania and poor impulse control. So by not taking the medication, they will have these issues, but in LESS THAN 1 in 1000 cases, they will also have poor impulse control. If it were my parent, sibling or child, I would put them on it in a heartbeat if it was prescribed. Lastly, there is a very common drug which can cause toxic epidermal necrolysis (a severe and life threatening skin disorder), neutropenia (low neutrophils which are a white blood cell leading to much greater risk of infection and sepsis and potentially death) and liver failure and all are the same less than 1 in 1000 risk. This drug is paracetamol or acetaminophen in the US. If you want to not take a gamble like that, then no Panadol for you or your family. If you want to debate medicines at least develop some context on them and their side effects.
I mistook "unethical to report" as in this videos "report", not in the sense of doctors or practitioners reporting side effects to patients. You go on to justify that statement in the context I mistook it for as well, unless Im still misunderstand you. Youre wording isnt exactly clear.
They have no right ! This is worst kind of slavery when people are forced chemicals on them by the ones with authority. But we have the right to refuse and we should despite the threats and abuse. We can offer our pain from this to God like Jesus.
Yes they jump you and inject it and many claim they put it in their food while held against their will. They want to drug me against my will even do I told them no many times and want to keep me in that facility even do I do not need it. I am a nursing assistant myself I just got injured, that's all. And they gave me court order to be arested and put into that facilety as soon as they have a bed. They put me on the waiting list against my will. They claim I am incompetent to understand. It's a frame. Its worst kind os slavery.@@MikMCMXCVIII I think people get experimented on them and the drugs are to disable the person from being able to defend themself. I tried to set up visitations with family when they take me and they denied and threatened that I'll get injected and arrested.
Abilify made me violent and, aggressive on 15 - 30 mg and, made me hallucinate babies and, newborns on 45 mg, along with hypersexuality or, increased sexual intentions . .
@@jasperbrooks2118 I’m glad you’ve said as much. Abilify does cause impulse control issues, and so violence is certainly a possibility. I’ve experienced extremely violent impulses also. I hope you do a video on your experience.
My ex husband is on abilify and he hasn't been able to hold down a job, or even leave his house. He sleeps 18 hours a day and only eats when he has to. He doesn't care to shower anymore or do anything to keep bedding and clothes clean. This is completely opposite of what he used to be like. He used to be super OCD about cleanliness, now doesn't even care. He's basically laying in bed day after day waiting to expire. Smells like he's not far off
I used this recovering from serious trauma many many years ago along with welbutrin. I have always been fit and for the first time in my life I became obese upward of 80lbs I hardly ate also. I gained water constantly in my feet. Uncontrollable muscle spasms I never had before Which lasted long after i stopped.
Its dangerous to point out the side-effects of a Abilify, without consulting with the doctor if they wish to discontinue. A lot of Abolify users are schizophrenics who have problems taking medication.
Me too bud, Im getting off these meds tomorrow done with this shit i will focus on exercises reading and a healthy diet, been taking meds my entire life and still no good results
I was prescribed Abilify a while ago but thankfully I didn't take it because, at $700 a fill, I didn't know anyone who could actually afford to take it...I certainly couldn't.
for suicidal ideation/delusions they gave me abilify in the hospital which made me posture in weird positions and smile without wanting to and my whole body shook uncontrollably.
I took abilify during a hospitalization and now I can not sleep I am constantly wired awake. I miss my sleep! I miss a dark slumber. This medicine destroyed my body.
Mine too. I had been on it for a year. I left taking it for three weeks, had it again only once and my insomnia started which it continues it date. - been four months, I can't sleep at all.
Ironically, spending a few years taking Abilify actually probably gave me tics. It was only after I stopped taking it that my face and tongue stopped trying to get a mind of their own.
Been observing the behaviour of someone who was on sulpiride which was not doing too much and was put on abilify. In the 2 weeks they have been on it they have worsened in terms of impulsive behaviour. Trying to leave home , late at night, with backpack, no money, no bank card,no tickets, no directions and walk 100 miles. Dashing across a busy road causing cars to brake .Prior to that they have just rung up £500 debt on impulsive buying. They have become far more aggressive when they cant get there way. only on 10mg a day..Getting to the point where reluctantly hospital may be needed (last time 3 yars ago).
people set people up who have impulse control disorder to harm them selves by telling them to do something that is very dangerous once or several times in a row this happened in a juvenile jail i was in years ago the staff set up mentally ill teenagers my therapist told me the staff has done this to juvenile inmates at the jail i did not know what he said was true untill i ended up going there my self it was a nightmare i found out what he said was 100 percent true
I appreciate these skeptical videos that focus on corporate greed; but fuck you for not tipping the hat to the good that these drugs help so many people survive. Everything has two sides, and it does a disservice if you only include one.
Don't take it it has ruined my life in many ways I can't even function properly 🤬🤬🤬 I feel more urges for some reason and I'm gonna end up suing my own doctor cuze it's really rude to give something that can destroy you I'm on a 400mg dosage every month injection

Let me tell you, Abilify is the reason I'm here today.
Abilify has DOSE DEPENDENT side effects and depot preparations are a nightmare...dose dumping and potentially lethal drug interactions
Depot preparation? You go to your local health station with the syringe and they inject you. The prep work for that is mostly 30 min when you buy it at your pharmacy. Drug interractions?, the pharmacist that gave you the syringe would have told you if any of your current medication does not work in combination with abilify.@@drannamd

In the last episode, it was full or partial hospitalisation for about 4-6 weeks.
I was on Abilify a number of years ago, when all the commercials for it were on TV. It made me very aggressive, I remember actually wanting to get into a fight. Thank goodness my time on it was brief, and that I never actually got into a fight.
I took antipsychotics for 10 years, and lost my personality, motivation, and gained 200lb. When I was switched to other meds, my clarity came back, my zest for life returned, I realized that I hadn't lost my intelligence.

Hi did you recover from the drug?
This drug may be a nightmare for you, but, it has given my sister back her life.
It has almost taken mine away
@@Mumbo_Jumbo_Kiwi.1 Would say about 4 years. I have always been an proponent for injections. She did relapse a couple of months ago. As per usual in these cases, she instead went with tablets. Took them, and she noticed she would suffice with only half a tablet per day. Couple weeks later and even that tablet was halved. Before going into mania and psychosis, the tablet was 1/8 of the perscribed amount. After that, in the psychiatric ward for about an month.
When it comes to bipolarism and schizophrenia, this constant "i am fine now, I will no longer use medicine" mentality is the problem.
Injections solves this issue. You will get the dose as an over time releasing dose, heard that the effect might weaken during the last days before the new injection, but that is what the tablets are for.
I am somewhat tired of this, cleaning up completely trashed appartments. Either get back the mental hospitals of old, or have the medicine injections court ordered.
I have a brother who is is bipolar and everything you have said here is so very accurate. In and out of psych wards constantly and always stops taking the medication prescribed or in such small amounts until a mania. Very sad, family is currently trying to get the court to order that there must be monthly injection to finally solve this but he says he will give up if it goes though.. difficult situation and something I will always have to live with. Thanks for your comment
@@johnjakes8389I've been court-ordered psychiatric care and the nurses all recommend the injection 💉 form of Abilify over the pills but I hate shots and worry about the long term side effects so they let me have it my way.

It ruined my life. I can't think properly.
Someone working for my state gave me this and I was on it for a year of misery. I was given it for depression because I was out of work in my 20s. The state made me sign up with the drug maker to get it for free because I was poor. After I took it for depression I was told it was an antipsychotic drug, before then I was lied to and told it was developed for that but it was suited for depression and anxiety. I was unable to think and began to lose cognitive functions. People started to call me crazy and I began living on the streets. Worst drug in the world. I live in Oregon fyi.
Nobody cares because I am not white. Shit like this ruined America for me. One of many reasons I am leaving this racist trap of a country.
If youre not white forget about healthcare, school, money, career, equal rights lmao.
Sad, but far too common...i truly feel sorry for you, and wish you only the best.
Dave: Sorry to hear, that's terrible, but transferring your situation to "not being white" isn't fair. Poor is a serious problem even if you want to succeed, and black is even harder, but it is possible. At least half the country is NOT racist, probably more like 75%. It does take a LOT of motivation, and mental issues (even just day to day pressure) can make that seem insurmountable for many.
Gothead420 my mind exploded when you said common. To me it is bazar and life destroying. I think the point of it all is supression of the sick and poor. If only i got the minimum help required i could have kept my life and careers. I just wanted a beta blocker.
There was a tv commercial in my state for a legal class action lawsuit over Abilify. I looked into it and there were hundreds more people like me in Oregon. The point of it all was we were told we were getting healthcare and the fact was we were treated for something we didnt need instead.
Abilify has 100% helped me you is tripping
Nah you’re just an sheep 😢
I took abilify for about 2 years and it made my face puff up, I gained about 40lbs due to increased appetite (I was ALWAYS super hungry), I was so irritable, and I definitely made more (stupid) impulsive choices... I've been off it for about 2 years and my life has gone nowhere but up!
Patrick Keane I was on it as well. It was making me eat while sleeping and made me very sleepy all the time. So I gained weight also. I stopped taking all my meds because I was turning into a zombie and I have done so much better just keeping tabs on my moods and trying to manage things naturally. I still have some trouble but nothing like when I was all drugged up.
And you call drug dealers bad people! Seems like your corner store boys had more love then ya damn doctors do!
The Abilify commercials were kind of creepy. In the commercial there was a little doll walking around that looked like the torchered soul that was suffering from depression. The person would smile at the doll after taking an Abilify.
Abilify is used by my autistic brother and it turned him from smashing his head into walls and self mutilating whenever he got stressed, to doing chores and being relatively calm. This medication really works for some people.

Such a shame to hear they are treating juveniles with this medication! I pray this stops soon!

I had a reaction called akathesia from abilify. It is a horrific restless feeling that makes you want to crawl out of your skin and it lasted for weeks. It was around 9 years ago and my stomach drops when I see the name abilify. One of the worst times of my life
Nicole Steele i also had a very bad reaction from it about 10 years ago. I had tremors so bad I couldn't write and I could barely sit and sleep. I had to stay on it for a while because my doctor thought it was for attention. A friend of mines, his mother went into a coma because of it too. I'm happy I got off of it before anything super bad happened.
It's one of the reasons I stopped taking it.
Nicole Steele - curious...do you recall what size of the dose you were on? I ask because I'm currently taking it...with no side effects that I'm experiencing...but I'm not sure what a typical dose is...my dose is apparently low
Bit Phreak her side effect is a something patients show within the first week. Everyone reacts differently and the side effect list is huge for abilify. Long term ones are less well known and the known side effects are a legion of dangers you would likely avoid in food items.
South Park's Mr Mackey had it correct,
"Drugs are bad".
And impulse control problems is what leads to addictions- overeating, drinking, gambling, etc
abilfy injection nearly killed me and made me a completely different person watch what you give to your children
Psychiatry forces me to take it. I've lost all creative ability, lust for life and am constantly drawn to porn, cigarettes and sugar. I don't think it attacks the impulse control center but cuts off dopamine supply to the frontal cortex, making the craving for it augment. You produce dopamine a lot when you gamble or have sex so that could explain. Studies have not proven yet that dopamine excess in the brain is the cause of psychoses but since anti-psychotics manage to sedate someone without putting them to sleep it is a very convenient theory for psychiatry to present as fact.
yes dopamine in excess is the reason we have anti psycotic medication. The problem with the most effictive drugs is that it blocks too much dopamine causing depression. abilify exists to combat apathy. you have no one to blame but yourself when you bitch to the doctor about mild lazyness confused with life altering apathy.
it definitely makes you wanna eat more, I was pretty athletic before now I'm gained some wieght. To takle it I some time take magic truffles. It helps, made me feel more 'human' and I could reach out for help(called a helpline to cope with depression). Instead of doing nothing, and leave it to 'blaming myself'.
Hi how long were you forced to take it? Did you recover from the drug?
oh holy shit, this is a piece of the puzzle. my son 18 was on this for years,has zero impulse control. It is worse than ever.
Well, talk to your doctor, but keep in mind, hes 18. Does he consume a lot of sugar and caffine too?
Im on it right now, and i have never felt more empty inside
i was just prescribed abilify and landed here during my research. I am hearing exactly nothing good about this drug and i'm honestly afraid to even start it, and I don't think I'm going to.
Get off it.
Exactly what I felt when getting off it. I had horrible muscle rigidity hallucinations and couldnt poop for the entire time without lax (TMI) and only slept 20 mins a night. and felt totally empty inside once I stopped. I hope youre off and feel better now and something wlse is working better for you.
I was given that... it caused some significant issues, it basically meant that i was incapable of sitting comfortably.
That's called akathisia and it is a common side effect of antipsychotics.
psychiatrists treat the symptoms of trauma and not the cause, this is the fundamental problem. Why do they do this? Because that is what they have been trained to do. Why? Because by treating the symptoms the cause never goes away, so the symptoms keep returning, therefore the symptoms need to be treated FOREVER, which brings in huge amounts of revenue for the drug companies and the doctors. If they prioritised treatment of the cause, in many cases the symptoms would go away, thus they would not need treating and drug company shareholders would suffer
Savoy Truffle I mean yeah? But bipolar disorder is largely unrelated to trauma.
@@regierse every supposed mental illness is a symptom of human trauma that has not been dealt with constructively
You're saying mental illness has everything to do with psychology. Schizophrenia which is what abilify is used to treat is caused from a hardware and chemical imbalance in the brain. It is a disease that needs treatment and ignores "trauma." might want to rethink your stance on mental illness
@@chapstic593 There is zero scientific proof of the existence of the chemical imbalance concept, it is merely a myth they perpetuate to justify what they do. This truth is quietly admitted by many psychiatrists

*Do you know what HAS negatively impacted my impulse control?*
*_Untreated ADHD and psychotic mania._* 🤔
Well.........in my case abilify worked wonders for my depression with minimal side effects. However, I take a VERY low dosage and am hyper-vigilant about any possible adverse effects. I think some patients have either been misdiagnosed or prescribed excessive dosages, resulting in these problems.
I'm on a pretty high dose, and it's worked wonderfully for me, too, along with the rest of my cocktail. People don't realize that, unfortunately, medication and treatment is trial and error. Everyone is different and what works for one mentally ill patient may not work for the other. And it takes a lot of self awareness, too.
the A symbol in abilify with the road behind it represents the never ending road you will have to walk with akathisia that it causes
This drug works for me. Sorry y’all had poor experiences.
Explain pls
Does it still work
Update: not on that stuff anymore. It definitely stabilized my mood but I always felt like I was in a funk. Didn't have too many impulsive slip-ups while using it (I was on probation at the time and had one weekend where I let loose). Currently on Nortriptyline for sleep aid/depression as a result of a brain surgery that I had in August 2020. It worked for me for a bit but I didn't use it past 6 months.

@@EricCole69 nope. Is that a side effect of your usage? If it is, that sucks man! I would Google articles about the topic. Not medical advice.

Cause it by design this is what they do.
Seriously . The fact that they don’t want to accept that all brain chemistry isn’t the same it’s crazy.
They make you crazy by inducing this .. meds
I must say that these problems are probably caused by using Ability at the doses suggested for problems other than depression adjunct therapy. I used Ability at a very low dose, 2 - 4 mg., and it helped my antidepressant work in stopping my incessant ruminating and obsessive thinking. That's probably where it's safest. It's prescribed at higher doses for psychosis and other problems, and I assume that's when it has these disastrous side effects.
I have to say that, once my obsessive thinking stopped with the low dose adjunct therapy Abilify, I was able to stop taking the medicine, and the thinking patterns never emerged again.
I would suggest ONLY prescribing Abilify as a low dose adjunct therapy to antidepressants.

I was prescribed Abilify for my anxiety disorder. I stopped taking in the first 2 months because it made me worse than I already did. I'm glad I stopped taking it. The fact that they list the side effects on the commercial as ironically mellow music plays didn't help matters much either.
Me too! I took it around 2006... My shrink insisted that I wasn't BP (which I am) but gave me this crap anyway. It was the worst experience of my life... I was so afraid and anxiety ridden. When I would smoke pot (and pot is the best thing I've ever used for mental illness) I literally could only take one hit as it made the anxiety and strange thoughts (kind of indescribable) so so much worse. It was a nightmare and I was so much better after I finally decided to stop taking it.
Latesha H It isn't fit for anxiety, it sucks they sold it to you when you clearly didny need it. If you dont need a medicine it is a poison.
I took it for barely 2 months and I had the opposite problem: I was stoned all the time. And not happy or peacefully stoned, it was so bad I couldn't even feel apathy.

Wow thank you
I took Abilify for anxiety/adhd and it was absolutely amazing. It saved me.
Most of these people are either in denial about their condition or have never suffered from a mental illness. I had PPD after the birth of my son. This was most likely due preexisting ADHD & OCD that was exacerbated by having a child on my own (i was married to a man who was in Afghanistan when the child was born). Prozac saved my damn life. I'm grateful these drugs exist.
Drug-induced mania is not exclusive to ablify (or even psychiatric drugs) and the presenter is being dishonest by not stating that. If you have an underlying mood disorder, you cannot take antidepressants or antipsychotics without a mood stabilizer. The rest of you can go eat an avocado and bathe in coconut oil to treat your brand of bullshit.
Psychiatric pharmaceuticals are a tricky subject. They offer an imperfect solution to problems. It seems like this is the way to practice psychiatric medicine. A psychiatrist tries prescribing a patient a drug. If the patient doesn't have too many completely screwed up life crippling "side effects" or can't afford a better similar drug, that's the patient's life now: taking that drug.
Psychiatry is now chemically doing what it seems like they used to do back in the day with "brain surgery." Poke a hole in the skull, stab into a part of the brain, and hope for the best. There is too much push for treating problems with pills and seems like it often causes more problems than it fixes. There doesn't seem to be enough of a push on fixing the underlying problem. Doctors are too busy to go through the process of finding out what is messed up inside someone's head and just gives them a pill that will slow their mental faculties down to make them able to behave better (in some cases) while it causes their body to slowly rot from the inside out.
I just started taking this a week ago. I dont really feel good on it and I am afraid to keep taking it
I had Akathesia whilst in hospital in 2006. It is absolutely horrific. The psychiatrist wouldn't give me anything for it. The next day I tried to commit suicide. That's when I woke up to Bigpharmafia. Abilify also made me gamble I lost about £150k. My psychiatrist said I would have to be on antipsychotics, anti depressants and sleeping tablets for the rest of my life. After being on Abilify for 13 years and losing all that money, I went to my doctor and said I wanted to come off it. I came off it in 6 months easily.

I was a victim of abilify in 2008 at 13 years old, I ended up in a psych center for six months after being prescribed I could no longer write or hold my neck straight, everyone thought I was faking it until a old janitor told my aunt I have early Parkinson’s, till this day i struggle writing and hyper sexuality and impulsiveness. I’m in college and I get very good grades but sometimes it’s extremely hard for me to write.

Worst medication I’ve ever taken. Suicidal thoughts, inappropriate things and impulse control problems. I don’t even know why I was given it. Please stick to better medication and more natural ways of health.
When I was 10 I was force to take the meds, idk why was honor student parents separated, I was just living my life never argued but my parents was in a custody battle for 6 years. Ever since I took the meds I could not remember my name, could not eat, seeing imaginary things, kidney, heart problems. Impulse was out of control I could not think. I could not even walk I look like a pale zombie the school got the state involved and father won my custody. The doc who gave me the meds was not legally allowed to be near children. Even to this day I’ve never recovered. It’s like a piece of me died 15 years ago . And every day I’ve been losing more and more memories. I’ve getting treatment ever since.

Where you could not always resist those impulses. I decided some several days ago to keep getting my seroquel and quit my abilify. By quitting i mean not 100% cold turkey that can be dangerous. As i have experienced it from last time some 3 years ago i did quit both my abilify and seroquel. I was almost ending up getting assault charges against me. That was the reason why i was forced to go back on it. But this time its half cold turkey which means i keep my seroquel because i know that even though it being anti psychotic med that its side affects is not the same as abilify. Plus it dont got addictive potientiel the same way as abilify have. For the majority of people who are prescribed it. But this is just me why i think abilify makes some people actually more impulsive is because it in fact blocks dopamine in the brain as i have read some studies articles about it. Not because i trust everything that stands on the internet but its just my theory
Abilifys ability to actually do this is helping me so much. I can actually do things now! So while many people don't need this help and it'll make them reckless, for people like me we need it to just function normally.
@@johndoeredfeather9600 I was on 5mg, upped to 7.5mg. The effectiveness has kinda died down a bit. I wonder if I should go to 10? Still helping quite a lot though.
@@Otome_chan311 helping you with what?
@@nihil8436 Basic functioning, productivity, etc. Abilify removes the paralysis and barriers that prevent me from doing things.
@@Otome_chan311 by nature of decreasing dopamine and suppressing braim function, abilify does not do these things. Moving more is because it causes restlessness/akathesia, but it doesn't come with the usual pleasure from completing tasks as dopamine is crucial to the reward system
@@nihil8436 idk how it works but off of abilify I'd just have a "wall" that stopped me from doing things. While on it I can actually do the things I need to do. I don't really get restless/akathesia at all from it.
I just recently got diagnosed with bipolar disorder and prescribed this medication. And I don't know why but it's making me feel more bipolar than I ever did before taking it. One moment I'll be fine just relaxing the next moment I'll be crying. I feel crazy at this point I don't even know if I have bipolar disorder because I've never felt this way before I've never felt this in the emotional ups and downs until taking this medication. I feel crazy and honestly I just seriously need somebody else out there who's gone through something similar to talk to me because I'm afraid to tell the people I love that I'm scared of this medication because I don't want them to think I don't want to get better. I'm just afraid I'm going to get worse.
I can confirm it does make you worse. It can even induce symptoms of severe mental illness.
Hey Lovie, please get a second opinion. I was on Abilify after I found out that I was diagnosed with BiPolar. It made me worst than ever and my symptoms were worst than they had ever been!!! I also felt numb to emotions!! So fast forward 9 yrs and I have had 2 other therapists which both said I am not bipolar, just have depression at times with hardcore anxiety!! Those Abilify meds had me acting EXTRAAAA!!?!!! I hope you are doing and feeling much better and getting all the love you need. God bless you Sweetie! 🥰
@@lovealwaysshalisha if a medication is making you feel scared or worse stop taking it it's not worth it I remember I was taking a medication that made me see shadow people and I cannot make this up yo .... I asked someone to look up the side effects for me because I was scared and it said one of the side effects is seeing shadow people like bro oh heck no I stopped taking it immediately cuz that was not OkAy! And I'm not making this up you can literally look up some medications that make you see shadow people I think it's sad.
I can't exactly relate personally, but a loved one has been through what you're describing for many years. Unfortunately, our medical system and especially the psychological part of it has been for a very long time, 'controlled.' There are no problems for which a drug is not a solution with these people, and that's for those who prescribe them not even the manufacturers. It's an unchecked greed and money machine being formed by those who stand to gain the most at the expense of those it is supposed to help. There is a good chance there's nothing wrong with you at all.....but I'm no professional nor do I know your situation. Just do your best to make sure you trust the people you share anything with
Your not alone, speak your truth. You deserve to feel good and be happy.
I've been on abilify for about 3 years can't say that I want to suddenly Gamble but I can say that my hallucinations have stopped definitely a little scared by this video but what can I do I either take abilify and try to live a regular life or don't take it and go absolutely crazy mental breakdown
Take a DIFFERENT medication, there are plenty of different options.
He is just a fear mongerer. Don't let this video get to you. If you have any side effects simply speak with your psychiatrist.
Or try to find where the things you are seeing are coming from. You can pray. God knows what they are and He can tell you.
I was prescribed Abilify in Jan 2023 and was a lethargic zombie for 3 to 4 months until I stopped taking it.
I've taken it for about 18 days and strangely don't have your symptoms. I feel more anxious and depressed-not sleepy nor have i gained weight.
@@marcomiranda9476stop it please it’s poison
Yet again another life ruined by the devil's lettuce oh it wasn't marijuana it was prescription pills isolated incident.
I will agree with this gentleman. I was given three separate dosages of ability injection over a three month period. With every injection my health and overall state deteriorated and started having serious complications, including being extremely tired, having muscle spasms all the time and twitching, emergence of headaches which would make me want to lay down and rest and sleep usually - I refuse to ever receive a injection of a pharmacutical anti-psychotics or anything relating to it again with my experiences I've suffered from ability.
You're not alone matthew, it did the same thing to me and I'm only just waking up out of this haze the injections had me under. It's upsetting that we can't trust so called "medical professionals" in today's era.
I receive the abilify injection too. I’m feeling more tired 🥱 than usual. I am also getting headaches. My head falls over when looking at a screen.
This stuff made me not able to walk correctly, my right ankle kept tensing and curling up. Something I’ve never experienced before. And not to mention my tiredness.🤦♀️
Misdiagnosis and careless professionals that don't care if you have side effects, so it's best to stay on a lower dose of it.
I was really hoping that the ad before this video would be an Abilify ad, but no.........
Damn the universe always make things less fun when it could all be so glorious!
Microdosing mushrooms is a safer bet than taking this drug. Abilify makes me lose control of my hands sometimes. They'll just flail randomly
Are you still on it?
Psychiatric meds work for some people but it makes others worse. Its a trial and error game with psych meds
they don't work for anyone. stick to your cucumbers.
As a pharmacist, yes Abilify can cause impulse control issues in patients. However, I will take a stand that it is unethical to report on a side effect of a drug without giving context regarding how common it is. It is a rare side effect, which in medical terms means less than 0.1%, or 1 in 1000 people, will get it. According to the FDA, who reported on this in July 2016, says that since it was released in 2002, less than 200 people have been reported to have this side effect. While the true number of people who have this side effect are likely to be a bit higher, this does show that it is still pretty rare.
Do not get me wrong, I am not saying that stuff like this is not an issue, and any drug which affects the brain will potentially have serious consequences whether you like it or not. However, we cannot disregard this drug, which has helped much more people than have been affected by this side effect. This only indicates that more doctors may need to be aware of the potential side effects of these meds, the patient needs to be monitored by their friends, family and medical team and higher risk patients should be under the supervision of a psychologist or psychiatrist.
I think its way more important that people understand theyre taking such a huge gamble. A gamble they may not be entirely aware of, especially when it can ruin or end your life. For some, 1-1000 is a gamble not worth taking.
I dont see how this could possibly be viewed as unethical. Reporting on side effects, that affect people to this degree and in cases of other medications with more severe side-effects like, suicide or death, is a great service to the people. The difference of being told 0.1% and 200/200 000 can seem substantially different. Those are 200 people, your Aunt, my Mom, that are paying for a product and are having such adverse affects from that product that it is ruining their lives.
I never said that it is unethical for people to not know their drug’s side effects. What I said was that it is unethical for people to not tell patients how rare a side effect is when they talk about it. Additionally, all drugs such as Abilify that have an effect on the brain will have massive side effects, but if we don’t have them, there will be much larger consequences.
For example, this drug is used in type 1 bipolar disorder, which has a major characteristic of mania and poor impulse control. So by not taking the medication, they will have these issues, but in LESS THAN 1 in 1000 cases, they will also have poor impulse control. If it were my parent, sibling or child, I would put them on it in a heartbeat if it was prescribed.
Lastly, there is a very common drug which can cause toxic epidermal necrolysis (a severe and life threatening skin disorder), neutropenia (low neutrophils which are a white blood cell leading to much greater risk of infection and sepsis and potentially death) and liver failure and all are the same less than 1 in 1000 risk. This drug is paracetamol or acetaminophen in the US. If you want to not take a gamble like that, then no Panadol for you or your family. If you want to debate medicines at least develop some context on them and their side effects.
I mistook "unethical to report" as in this videos "report", not in the sense of doctors or practitioners reporting side effects to patients. You go on to justify that statement in the context I mistook it for as well, unless Im still misunderstand you. Youre wording isnt exactly clear.
Who really reports side effect to FDA--- only those who have too because of the event is undeniable? Few docs report vaccine side effects..too...
I took it and it’s side effects are horrible!!
I don't recommend this drug not to anyone just get off this drug ladies and gentlemen cuz it does more harm than good.
This stuff is poison to me
Yeah, maybe to you.
@@dsweet5859 That's what matters...
How it affects the individual.
I hate the government forced me on this
Same I am fuming with the government I'm slapping heads if this continues I don't want it it sickens me everyday
They have no right ! This is worst kind of slavery when people are forced chemicals on them by the ones with authority. But we have the right to refuse and we should despite the threats and abuse. We can offer our pain from this to God like Jesus.
They still force you?
Yes they jump you and inject it and many claim they put it in their food while held against their will.
They want to drug me against my will even do I told them no many times and want to keep me in that facility even do I do not need it.
I am a nursing assistant myself I just got injured, that's all. And they gave me court order to be arested and put into that facilety as soon
as they have a bed. They put me on the waiting list against my will. They claim I am incompetent to understand. It's a frame. Its worst kind os slavery.@@MikMCMXCVIII I think people get experimented on them and the drugs are to disable the person from being
able to defend themself. I tried to set up visitations with family when they take me and they denied and threatened that I'll get
injected and arrested.
Yes they do. Its the worst kind of slavery.@@MikMCMXCVIII
Abilify gave me the worst manic episode. And my doctor wanted me to double the dosage smh
Abilify made me violent and, aggressive on 15 - 30 mg and, made me hallucinate babies and, newborns on 45 mg, along with hypersexuality or, increased sexual intentions . .
@@jasperbrooks2118
I’m glad you’ve said as much. Abilify does cause impulse control issues, and so violence is certainly a possibility. I’ve experienced extremely violent impulses also. I hope you do a video on your experience.
My ex husband is on abilify and he hasn't been able to hold down a job, or even leave his house. He sleeps 18 hours a day and only eats when he has to. He doesn't care to shower anymore or do anything to keep bedding and clothes clean. This is completely opposite of what he used to be like. He used to be super OCD about cleanliness, now doesn't even care. He's basically laying in bed day after day waiting to expire. Smells like he's not far off
It sounds like he has more issues going on than an Abilify prescription.
@@johndoeredfeather9600 No clue, he gets the shot every other month and I don't know the info on that
@@adownbeatexegete1549 Really? Her description perfectly fits an example of reduction in dopamine and the other effects of abilify.
It has destroyed his life, he sbould get off it before he ends up dead
Everything this guy talks about is actually in the side effects warning now.
What does Abilify do to the impulse control center? I don't understand.
I'm curious too. I have an opioid addiction and I don't want it to become more compulsive.
Makes you not Think twice before doinh something. Its really bad had the same experience with it
@@yasmina1060 I hope I don't think twice about getting a job
@yasmina1060 my dr is thinking of putting me on this. I'm scared it will make my opioid addiction worse .
@@heatherulm8587 its different from person to person But I wouldnt recommend it if you are Young
if you take other medications that cause mania, be careful of misdiagnosis of bipolar. Psychiatrists will prescribe this as an attempt to combat it.
It triggered my anxiety. And gave me strong impulses to jump out my car on freeway. I still struggle with driving because of anxiety.
That's how I feel I was scared to drive after getting that shot dude
I used this recovering from serious trauma many many years ago along with welbutrin. I have always been fit and for the first time in my life I became obese upward of 80lbs I hardly ate also. I gained water constantly in my feet. Uncontrollable muscle spasms I never had before Which lasted long after i stopped.
Its dangerous to point out the side-effects of a Abilify, without consulting with the doctor if they wish to discontinue. A lot of Abolify users are schizophrenics who have problems taking medication.
I can’t sit still, annoying anxiety in my legs
Me too bud, Im getting off these meds tomorrow done with this shit i will focus on exercises reading and a healthy diet, been taking meds my entire life and still no good results
Magnesium tablets and magnesium oil for your legs works
Sounds like akithisia, you can take procyclidine for it
Same
I was prescribed Abilify a while ago but thankfully I didn't take it because, at $700 a fill, I didn't know anyone who could actually afford to take it...I certainly couldn't.
for suicidal ideation/delusions they gave me abilify in the hospital which made me posture in weird positions and smile without wanting to and my whole body shook uncontrollably.
I took abilify during a hospitalization and now I can not sleep I am constantly wired awake. I miss my sleep! I miss a dark slumber. This medicine destroyed my body.
Mine too. I had been on it for a year. I left taking it for three weeks, had it again only once and my insomnia started which it continues it date. - been four months, I can't sleep at all.
Ironically, spending a few years taking Abilify actually probably gave me tics. It was only after I stopped taking it that my face and tongue stopped trying to get a mind of their own.
thank you for this info!!!
Been observing the behaviour of someone who was on sulpiride which was not doing too much and was put on abilify. In the 2 weeks they have been on it they have worsened in terms of impulsive behaviour. Trying to leave home , late at night, with backpack, no money, no bank card,no tickets, no directions and walk 100 miles. Dashing across a busy road causing cars to brake .Prior to that they have just rung up £500 debt on impulsive buying. They have become far more aggressive when they cant get there way. only on 10mg a day..Getting to the point where reluctantly hospital may be needed (last time 3 yars ago).
people set people up who have impulse control disorder to harm them selves by telling them to do something that is very dangerous once or several times in a row this happened in a juvenile jail i was in years ago the staff set up mentally ill teenagers my therapist told me the staff has done this to juvenile inmates at the jail i did not know what he said was true untill i ended up going there my self it was a nightmare i found out what he said was 100 percent true
Abilify made me feel absurdly awful. Like I have no idea how it can be beneficial to anyone.
I appreciate these skeptical videos that focus on corporate greed; but fuck you for not tipping the hat to the good that these drugs help so many people survive. Everything has two sides, and it does a disservice if you only include one.
Don't take it it has ruined my life in many ways I can't even function properly 🤬🤬🤬 I feel more urges for some reason and I'm gonna end up suing my own doctor cuze it's really rude to give something that can destroy you I'm on a 400mg dosage every month injection
I'm stuck on 400 MG they won't take me off
A doctor is not God, It's criminal that they are forcing chemicals on people. Jesus commended us to stay sober.
