| Thanks Ana for the info. I do feel more motivated but annoyingly agitated too. I hope this side effect wears off, I'm only on day 6 ! No drug is perfect I was just really hopeful Abilify would help cos I've tried so many things! Getting a slight twitch in right face too. Gosh I'm way too oversensiti... |

| Thank you so much for all the feedback. The side effects have slightly subsided, but the blurred vision and grogginess is an issue, plus a bit of hypoglycemia has crept in! The thing that attracts me to this drug is that it is supposed to regulate dopamine in the braining rather than blocking it lik... |

| Hi there anyone taking aripiprazole (Abilify) I have just been prescribed it. Already taking Celexa 40mg. recently saw a new psych who has prescribed Abilify off label. It feels pretty strong. Nausea, drowsy, blurred vision. Anyway does anyone have experience of this medication? Do these horrid side... |

| I have an obsession with Cairo and the Middle East at the moment. I really want to leave Britain and experience a new culture outside the EU. Get away from the expense and the silly English celebrity rubbish. But today I read its 50 degrees and there are 64,000 people per square mile compared to 1,6... |

| I have been taking a small dose of Equasym now for a few weeks (10mg). I have found it helps with concentration and motivation. The only problem is when it wears off late afternoon I get an insatiable craving for lager! So this med is a double-edged sword!! I've begun drinking a lot more i.e 4-5 tim... |

| I think it is highly unlikely Jolie has AS. All that change and disruption flitting from one country to the next would do me in. Multi tasking and keeping track of an ever increasing brood. Plus, as an occupation acting is a fairly social one. I always wanted to act then I saw myself on video, I hav... |

| The good thing about tough people is that they don't mind so much if you say what you think or don't see them much. They are not over sensitive. Sweet nice people tend to take offence easier, and feel hurt if you don't feel like mixing. Sorry I have not really expressed myself very well in this thre... |

| Sorry I just did not know how to title this thread. Being friends with forthright people is often simpler, they are direct often rude but at least you can be honest with them. And you know where you stand. Most of my friends have tended to be from the fringes of society, ex-convicts or people with o... |

| I know what you mean. I wish I had a virtual human I could switch on and off. I occasionally feel social, but soon become overwhelmed and irritated quickly, retreating back to being a hermit. This makes people think I am odd and unreliable. |
