"i took 10mg for about 6 months although initially i felt less manic, my muscles in my legs ached and i started to lose my zest to do anything. my whole outlook on life seemed to be dead but not in a depressed way. i stopped taking abilify and gradually i started to return back to the creative person i have always been. i still take a mood stabiliser (topirimate) to control my mania and prozac to stop my depressive moods. abilify was just a step too far for me to handle, i don&#039;t want to be a zombie."
