I didn't want to tell anyone this but I stopped taking prozac ( not abilify) for a few days, despite knowing that abruptly stopping can have side effects. I wanted to see if it made a difference in a few of the reported side effects such as weight gain etc... anyway "soo coincidentally"  I decided to break up with my boyfriend a few days later because he was being SOO rude to me.  Anyway, after about a week, I am back to taking both Abilify and Prozac. again.  I'm not too concerned about it all, but the damage has been done. Im not going to dwell on it. Life goes on. I thought taking Abilify was enough. Why do I also need an anti depressant?  I thought that Prozac was more like a lolly it was that weak, and millions of people are taking it everyday, are they all that seriously affected?

 

I realised that Prozac is still a serious drug. Maybe I do need it. Anyway. I hope i don't do anything stupid like that again.
