"i took abilify for a month and it was not for me. it first made me happy, but it made me too happy! i became manic again and couldn&#039;t settle myself down. i would be up at 2 am working out or cleaning. also, the side effects were awful! my hands never stopped shaking and people began to think i had a drinking problem due to the way they were shaking. it also made me gain 5 lbs within a week. not a fan."
