Bipolar Medicine...Abilify

By Kelly Welch Wednesday, July 08, 2009

Has anyone out there taking abilify for bipolar.  Want to know if it's helped you/side effects you've had.

Hi there,

 

I am new to this group, but want to be able to share my experiences with others, and hopefully help someone.

 

I take abilify along with several other pharmacuticals to help my bi-polar.  I have not had any problems or side affects from it.  It has worked well for me.

 

Hope this helps.

How many mg's were you taking to start off?  My daughter is highly sensitive to medicine and we are on attempt #12 with medicine.
