"after taking anti-psychotic medications for 9 years and trying just about every single one of 
them, i have finally found one that is working for me, at this point in my life. i started this medication 
(abilify) nearly 4 months ago and the positive changes i&rsquo;ve seen in my life make me so happy. i have 
lost almost 30 pounds within these last several months, i have been more active with my children, and i 
actually get off the couch and walk and enjoy life. i&rsquo;ve been involved with my &ldquo;fitbit&rdquo; challenges which i 
would&rsquo;ve never attempted to even think about doing before. my manic episodes are very rare and less 
erratic. before when i would be on a anti-psychotic 
medication i would feel like i was in a &ldquo;zombie mode&rdquo; barely functioning day by day.
the only downfall i have with this medication (abilify), which is a side effect, is if i get up to 
quickly i get dizzy and just collapse. now i&rsquo;m at a plateau with my weight, but i&rsquo;m not gaining weight 
either. i give this anti-psychotic medication a 9 out of 10."
