Abilify changed my life Hello everyone! Just wanted to hop on here and talk about my experience with Abilify. This is not advice on whether or not you should also take Abilify, just giving my personal experience. I’ve had a stutter my entire life, a pretty bad one that caused me to be super introverted as a kid. Going into college I got out on Citalopram, which helped but the decreased libido was not worth staying on the medication. I stopped taking Citalopram after college and my stutter went back to how it was when I was a kid, I would rate it a 8/10 on how hard it was to talk. I went back into the shell that I put myself in as a kid, which isn’t as easy as it was when I was kid because now I have a full fledged career as a nurse where I have to speech to patients on a daily basis. This is when I decided to try Abilify. I was a little scared at first because it’s an “antipsychotic” and can cause akathesia and drowsiness. But I decided to say yolo and try it because I could not continue living how I was living. It’s been about 5 months now being on Abilify and the only symptom I have is mild drowsiness but I just drink coffee to counteract that. My stutter now is about a 3/10 on hard it is to speak. I am able to interact with people at work and in my day to day life like a “normal person” with only a few slip ups every now and again. I feel confident to go back into the dating scene and feel like the world has opened back up now. Feel free to leave questions below and I’ll try to answer them asap.
