"i took abilify for one month. i had restlessness, a feeling that i needed to do something. it was a good thing in a way. at first i was more irritable but that subsided substantially after a few days. it made me feel a lot more calmer and in control of my emotions without making me feel like i was suppressing them. this is the first pharmaceutical medicine i have tried to treat my condition and it definitely worked better than the natural remedies such as st john&#039;s wort, same, and passion flower. it even helped more than meditation. i have just switched to latuda because abilify gave me chest pains. if the pain was anywhere else i would of definitely stayed on the medicine because it worked. it helped me gain 10 lb which is good for me."
