"i have my life back. currently taking 2mg day 8, with 50mg lamictal, 50 mg seroquel, lexapro, elavil and klonopin. started with the 5 mg, 1st day slept all day, 2nd day increased back pain, 3rd day woke up with severe sweats lasted 7 hours. the nurse said don&#039;t take it tonight and come in for 2 mg. it worked. i am no longer sleeping 12 hrs a night and playing computer games 7 hrs a day. i want to go out, shop, dress up, wearing makeup doing hair. people literally don&#039;t recognize me. everybody wants to know what i&#039;m doing to feel so good. finally! i have cptsd, mdd, bipolar 2, ocd that i know of. i pray it lasts. i am a little on the manic side, but i suppose i will mellow out in time. thanks makers of abilify!"
