bipolar disorde
"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’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’ve been involved with my “FitBit” challenges which I 
would’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 “zombie mode” 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’m at a plateau with my weight, but I’m not gaining weight 
either. I give this Anti-Psychotic Medication a 9 out of 10."
