[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 763971, member: 3305"] Deni I had a psychotic breakdown in February of 2007 at age 40 and that is when I started taking Abilify. I really did love it because I no longer had any social anxiety problems or deep depression which I had lived with all my life. Overtime it eventually stopped working and I had also developed that gambling problem as well as picking on my face compulsively. I’m sorry to hear your son developed tardive dyskinesia. But I’m glad it’s only in his fingers and not his face. Sounds like he deals with it as best as he can. It’s very difficult to butt in and be involved with an adult child’s psychiatric treatment. The fact that your son knows that his medications absolutely make a difference in some areas of his life sound promising for continued treatment though. So that’s a plus! My son never did. 😞 In fact he told me that Meth use was the only thing that made him happy. Today I take Divalproex 500 mgs, Lurasidone 60mgs, and Ramelteon 8mgs. I no longer pick on my face but I still gamble a lot! I recently stopped smoking cigarettes. Like your son, I never want to experience psychosis again! It was very terrifying! I saw demons, the devil, womens voices turned into mens etc. The scariest thing I have ever experienced! I will do whatever it takes to avoid another episode! Mindinggaps…I hope you don’t mind me adding my experience to your thread. [/QUOTE]
