Any Other Side Affects
(Newest replies first)

sue ellen,
because you have been on abilify for several years, i was wondering if there are other side affects besides the weight gain. Anything you can tell me about it would be helpful as i will have to consider using it long term or keep seaching for something that works for my situation.
thanks, suzanne

I have been taking Abillify for about 3 years and have started a side effect that is called tardive dyskinesia. It involves uncontrollable jaw and hand movements that are like twitches but much worse. In some cases, like mine, the syndrome is irreversible. Ask your doctor about the risks, mine didn't tell me until it was too late! Best of everything to you.

Simply put: your damned if you don't take it and damned if you do. It's a vicious cycle.

My son is on Abilify. He experiences severe sleep disturbance, blurry (double vision), and headache. At one time, he experienced erection problems.
