What I think about Abilify

Shiny days ahead.

I used to mod at crazymeds and crazyboards. LOL. Had to move on to new things. I am HOPING that crazyboards took a core dump like crazy meds just way too much of my past on there.

Abilify made me see dead people the one night I tried it.

My (free but not smart) pdoc made me take it at TRIPLE the dose (my cholesterol was being bad) instead of Seroquel, my AAP of FOREVER.

3 days in I wound up fleeing the state with the kid but ditched somewhere near New Mexico. My impulse when ill is to "take your meds" only I had no concept of time so I was like taking them over and over. Once I started LOSING time I had this lucid moment where I was like, "Someone besides me needs to take the kid" so I called my family and they wound up committing me (I think my temp was like 106 or something) anyway my mom was super pisssssseeed at me and while I was on like 18 meds at this really terrible Tucson hospital (my doc did not like mouthy, independent women, as it happened he was a Muslim) so he REFUSED to give me Seroquel for like 3 weeks and in the meantime I was having the husband try to get the patient rights people to get me because he wanted to ship me out of state to a long term facility and well.....

Fortunately my doc knew a doc in there and they slipped me enough Seroquel that I like, could sleep a BIT. Mostly I stared through this frosted glass that was slightly CROOKED and this well, chip monk came every morning and I got to see a lot of shoes. I was not very lucid like one day I spent being Angelina Jolie (restful) one really bad day I like, pulled my hair out one by one. Etc. I mean, it SUUUUCKED. I did so much pacing in bad shoes I grew an inch.

I got to the state hospital eventually and like that was good because I had some serious detoxing to do. I was on 2000 mg of Seroquel at one point. It was worth it.

Then, I had to fight the gosh darned CPS case my mom had dreamed up, because I refused to give her custody of my kid when my ex was threatening to like, not send him back. Only idiocy CPS almost sent him BACK to my ex and my mom had to be all like, "Oh NO my daughter is a GREAT mom when she's sane instead of getting custody herself.

So then I had to deal with a dang CPS case and it was NOT FUN thank god for my ongoing worker like, she was sane and could see what happened. Man though the CPS GROUPS. Ooooh.

My mother has never apologized for that. That's quite alright though, because I have never forgiven her, either.

Also, you can pry my Seroquel from my cold dead hand because I don't sleep without it, Dr, Sadist Tried his Very best good thing there was no ECT in there or I woulda had it and not by choice.

I'd rather eat a roach than live that portion of my life over too. But, my cholesterol is fine now, go figure it was the smoking.

Abilify may be great for some, but as far as I'm concerned they can string up the drug makers in the village square for a good stoning. You can string my mother up there Too, you don't Activate CPS as your personal custody HOPE doing that is SO NOT SMART.

Hey I took abilify and it's a terrible med if you ask me the side affects were crazy.. Stiffness to a point of being locked constapation to a point of being clogged..
Terrible terrible medication.
At the time I quit it and didn't take anything else which caused me danger.
Thanks for your post anna:hubba:
 
Had a bad incident on Prozac. I had disassociated during sleep. Another person come to, wide awake. I was still asleep and dead to the world. My neighbor caught me, or the other person doing a military style patrol up and down the road in front of our houses.

He called this other me up on their porch, talked, got them calmed down. Then he spoke to my mom. Mom and I talked then and two days later I got off that junk. Have recently got off effexor as well. It was as bad as Celexia. Neither do a thing for me.

Come to find out I got congenital anhedonia due to another physically medical congenital issue. I'm pretty much living life something like a husk. I love my wife, my critters and I know and feel their love in return. But there's very little else which brings me pleasure, joy. I don't get enthusiastic, or "rattled" too much over much of anything. On the flip side though, I don't feel jealousy so me loving a person can be unconditional.

People find that weird. I have to fake jealousy. They can't accept that, it's funny how they just get all dumbfounded and then argue I don't. But I can feel abandoned, or left alone. I'm never lone though, the universe sees to that.

I keep starting to write then getting lost. Run into the "So What?" question a lot. If I can't stay interested in a story beyond that, I can't write it any more. Got one at present bugging me that isn't a so what. It's more like "Okay so, what would this character do next? How do they feel? What is their mindset?" And none of that is coming forward. I treated the guy real bad, nasty bad even. Think I scared him, or caused him bad trauma that he's in so much shock.

*hug* You keep well and safe. :)
