This is my first post but I'm a long time lurker on this site. I saw this topic and wondered if it would be ok if I posted here.
I have schizoaffective disorder and I'm currently prescribed 30mg Abilify (aripiprozole) and 450mg Molipaxin (trazodone). First of all, I want to say that I am feeling very stable after a bit of a rocky summer. Unfortunately I have come to the realization that my Abilify is poisoning both my brain and body. I am convinced that they gave me diabetes and I was in a mind fog for the whole year and a half I was taking them so I stopped 6 days ago. I still take my Molipaxin every night or I wouldn't get any sleep at all but I am only having a few hours of sleep every night before waking between 2am and 3am.
I feel loads better in myself, my sex drive has increased 10fold much to my OH's delight, I have so much more energy, sleep is for wimps anyway. Does anyone know how long it will be before there is no Abilify in my system?
I am doing this in secret as my OH would worry and I need to prove to him that I am alright. I told my keyworker but that is in confidence. I am under the care of the psychosis team at the moment. Thank you for reading all this.
