"i have been taking abilify for nearly two years to manage my episodes of rage.  the medication helps me to talk myself down in circumstances that i would usually build on my ridiculous ideas.  it is a miracle medicine for me.  last month when the price went up to $120 dollars i decided to try and manage without it since i am also on a mood stabilizer and an antidepressant.  that was a bad idea.  after about 9 days i started noticing my episodes of rage increasing and i also started feeling more social anxiety.  my husband requested that i begin taking the abilify again, and after just a couple days i was back to my &quot;normal&quot; self.  i take 15 mg at bedtime.  although the cost is high, it is worth it to keep my sanity."
