borderline personality disorde
"Minimal side effects and was glad to begin to lose the weight gained with Olanzapine, which I had been taking before, and also wave goodbye to the severe sedating effects of Olanzapine too.



Started on 15mg and noticed my mood swings were more manageable. Then as they began to resurface a short while later (first severe depression then rapid cycling) all I was offered was higher doses of Abilify: 15, 20, 25 and have now been on 30mg for nearly 2 yrs. Abilify has not helped my mood swings at all and am now working with Dr to come off.



An overall low rating for Abilify to treat BPD as medications only manage the symptoms and not causes of BPD, I have since learned. It helps contain the symptoms for some, it just isn't for me."
