"abilify is the only antipsychotic that works for me. the extreme hunger, lethargy, restlessness, and memory problems i had on other antipsychotics are nonexistent with abilify. i was in the middle of a severe depressive episode when i took it and it only took several weeks for me to be back to normal functioning. i sleep better, have more energy, and fewer mood swings. this medication is great. i find that it is more &quot;activating&quot; while other drugs in the same class like zyprexa are more &quot;tranquilizing.&quot;"
