i've never been on an antipsychotic before, but my psychiatrist said this could help with mood swings. i'm doing some research and i'm finding out that it could cause some pretty serious compulsive/impulsive behaviors, which i really struggle with right now. i'm a little afraid that abilify could make those worse, but i am literally so lost that i will try anything at this point.

i'm not on it yet and said i kind of want to think about it before i try it, i go back in 2 weeks. i have really bad dissociation problems (feeling like i'm not real, behind a tv screen, feeling like i'm a playable character in a video game, etc) and delusions associated with that, and pretty severe social paranoia and delusions that are also associated with that too. so since it's an antipsychotic maybe it will help with that stuff. i also have a problem with not feeling any positive emotions at all, and this has been going on for a lot of weeks and maybe a few months by now.

anyway. tl;dr. if any of you have ever been on it, what was it like? did you feel better, worse? thanks for any answers &lt;3
