Bipolar Disorde
"I&#039;ve been on Abilify for almost two months.  I got up to 15mg, but have taken myself down to 5mg due to several reasons.  First, I noticed rapid weight gain which surprised me, since I&#039;m very active.  Also, it made me physically very tired but restless at the same time. Going jogging felt like torture, since my limbs felt so heavy. I tried to stop taking it but experienced extreme sleepiness which is usually a sign a depressive episode is coming on.  I think it&#039;s evened out my sleeping, but I wake up pretty early on it. I take it at night now.  I&#039;m undecided whether it&#039;s worth taking, since I think my Depakote is doing a better job of stabilizing my moods, and it&#039;s cheaper."
