"i like abilify a lot because i used to be extremely irritable. i also couldn&#039;t ride my bicycle when i was manic because i would not focus on my safety. luckily, i now only get hypomanic episodes thanks to abilify. i feel like i am free to get off of my emotional roller coaster and explore the world outside. the only few problems it gave me were akasthesia and weight gain. i&#039;m 14 years old, and i don&#039;t know whether i gained 40 lbs from growing, the medicine, or both."
