[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 763924, member: 3305"] Hi Mindinggaps… I was on 20mgs of Abilify for years after my psychotic break at age 40 in 2007. Unfortunately I developed a strong gambling addiction while on it, which I still have even though I don’t take Abilify anymore. It got worse after my mentally ill addicted son died 2 years ago. A side effect of Abilify is a strong gambling compulsion. Also my son was prescribed Vyvance once and abused it and became psychotic and had to be hospitalized for a week afterwards. Knowing the side effects of these medications is very important in my opinion. As well as taking them exactly as prescribed. I no longer take Abilify. I take Lurasidone, Depakote and Lexapro to keep me stable. Like you, I must take mental illness medication the rest of my life. The doctors told me and my family that if I went psychotic again they may not be able to bring me back. This is very frightening to me as what I went through in my head was horrific! Just sharing my experience. I’ve enjoyed reading your posts and your own experiences. [/QUOTE]
