Thank you! I appreciate the kind words, this video took a very long time to make, so I am glad it is helpful. I will consider making Lyrica video. It is first line in a lot of anxiety guidelines, but many providers overlook it because it is not FDA approved for that indication. Thanks again for the comment.

How much did you weight and how tall are you ? They scarily started me at 20mg i am 6 foot 1

Best of luck

I need an update i'm very hesitant as Xanax is literally the only thing thats ever worked for me but i was prescrided this today

How did it go?

I’m afraid To take it too 😞

So happy to hear that it is helping you.

No side effects?

​@@Tom-eo6jyThere are always side effects with antipsychotics. Written on the label.

yeah you should stay on meds my guy

Thanks for watching!

Thanks Dave!

I'm sorry it such a bad reaction to it. What was your dose? It's been a lifesaver for me for the last several years

Same 5mg

Abilify

Just because it doesn’t work for you doesn’t mean it doesn’t work for anyone

I think every psychiatrist should try some of the drugs they take so they know how crappy it makes a person feel and how hard it is to get off of them. They wouldn't because they know of all the side effects

U can do exercise or use homeopathy to control ur urges

sign me up

@@martinackbar7876 sign 🪧 you up for what?

😂

Yes, I can try. I have a few others in the works first. Have you ever tried a z-drug like ambien? Or non-pharm options like CBT-I? Or had a sleep study.

Thank you! This took a long time to put together.

It helped my restless leg syndrome.

I have seizures and my doctor prescribed this so I am super nervous to take this. I’m also doing the keto diet which is noted to reduce seizures and this medication makes your blood sugar go up, therefore nullifying the effects of the diet and I’m just like not about it right now. I hope I can find something that works for me.

Hi Hannah, I am sorry to hear that you are not doing well. Abilify is FDA approved as an adjunct for major depressive disorder and I have never seen Abilify cause a psychotic break in my career.

I am happy to hear that you are doing well and the medication was a win win

Yes, I agree that 10mg is usually the starting dose for schizophrenia unless he is young or sensitive to side effects.

@@DanGreer Thank you so much for your reply. I'm so hoping he gets some relief from these meds despite all the scary stuff I'm reading online.

@@daniel-bc5sp Best of luck, I work in an inpatient psychiatric unit and I see patients get better all the time.

My relative who lives w me Took injection 400 ml Shes 69 yrs Took her for a loop. Gambling, sex, drugs ,bad boys, no sleep for over week. Wild behavior Before the injection she was very religious. Follow bible. The bad behavior lasted 2 plus months She got back on oral 15 ml. Seems better now 2 mos later. Tho still very scary as still depressed an not functional. 😮. Tho i see some improvement

I was on bupropion, now prescribed Abilify 2mg along with it

Anxiety sometimes gets worse with SSRIs before it gets better, staying on the medication may help to decrease anxiety.

@@DanGreer I took it for 4 months and still same anxiety

ok then that doesn't seem like a good medication for you, maybe talk to your prescriber about trying something else@@nirmanshrestha2038

Yes, sometimes antipsychotics are used in combination

I take 15mg Abilify in the morning and 400mg Quetiapine in the evening :) works perfectly fine

Most doctors is wrong, take that info consideration

What is the solution please?🙏🙏🙏🙏

@@hassanahassna766it doesn’t help much with my voices ,I don’t take it anymore because I felt sad on it

They don't really know. It's all guesswork. A shot in the dark. A "give him this, give him that, let's see what happens." There are no physical tests. And all these drugs damage the body.

You need to take your Son to a different psychiatrist because many psychiatrists often make a misdiagnosis. I see your comment is from 1 year ago - so I hope your Son is doing better.

It is approved for depression as an adjunct to an antidepressant. Are you on an antidepressant as well?

It's commonly used in combination with popular ssri's.

​@@DanGreerHi sir ​I have taken 10 mg of Aripiprazole on the first day in the evening and It feels like I am sweating more and cold like symptoms in my nose. It is partially blocked. Do people have any of these symptoms?

I’ve been on 15mg for a year and have gained 15 pounds but no matter what I do the weight won’t come off.

They all harm the same way, it all depends on who?

I'm against antipsychotics unless neccessry at this point, but I had way less ED issues on abilify. No Ed issues actually. I'm getting off invega now

I switched to today from olanzapine

There is no direct equivalent dose, but 10 mg of olanzapine is half the max dose and the max dose of abilify for some conditions is 30 mg so, half would 15 mg

Eat healthy choices

I tried not to take kratom while I was on this. You'd probably be fine with a small amount of kratom, but your essentially taking an upper and a downer at the same time as abilify is stimulating. Also kratom destroyed my teath and I don't suggest you take large amounts for years. It's not good for bone health

thanks man i really appretiate it am now off of abilify been 2 months only take 2-4 grams morning and night sometimes just once in the morning

Thanks for watching and I am happy to hear that you are feeling well!

Lisinopril is a blood pressure medication. Aripiprazole can lower blood pressure as well, but the medications are commonly used together.

@@DanGreer Does this medicine helps in Tourette tics ?

@@jatinsharma5024 Yes, that is discussed in the video and on my website link in the description

How has it been?

Keep the dose low so as to not have side effects like messed up thinking...

Abilify is FDA approved in combination with medications like Lexapro for the treatment of depression and some evidence suggests Abilify is helpful in PTSD

Thanks, I need to make the time to do that, it is a lot of work though

@DanGreer lol, I imagine! I love all the information and details you you Give. I can imagine that it would take so much time!

That could be a side effect called akathisia

That is a small dose and would have a very low chance to cause any weight gain or diabetes

Thanks Sir

Did your voices go away 100 procent or no

​@@dagrun3821mine did not at all and neither did they with invega. What has helped me has been 3 things I do every time ii start to hear something.... 1:i immediately focus on my surrounding and something I can actually hear in reality. 2: I stop listening to voices. 3: I remember that these voices are internal and are being generated by my own subconscious. Your subconscious has the power to create vivid dreams, it also has the power to generate multiple voices at once. I've been doing this for 2 weeks and have had more success than on high doses of multiple medications. Do not endadge with voices, do not listen, do not respond. Try to focus on something in reality. Headphones help. I literally believe hearing voices in A bad habit at this point

Lol thats me

Haha good one, thanks for watching

No psychiatrist would take this because they know of the side effects, how hard it is to come off of them, and of the potential to permanently alter their brain chemistry. Your second sentence may have been unnecessary, but so is this guys comment making a joke of what you've said. Psychiatrists are not therapeutic "doctors" and they only help some people sometimes and usually temporarily. Legal drug dealers essentially

Exactly these doctors are clueless

@@jamesball5743 thanks for the interaction, it drives more people to the channel, and I like your channel as well, the music is good

PharmD. Great comment. I make no money from drug companies, I work for a university and a hospital. This is an informational video, talking about positives and negatives of the medication. Maybe watch a minute of it before commenting.
