Thanks to Anilify, I've skated through seratonin syndrome and am better able to function. I still have yet together back to a "normal" life, my anxiety is
the culprit, but I'm expanding my comfort zone and more productive within it.
It took less than two days for me to notice a difference. I was able to wake up rested and ready to greet the day. I am no morning person; so greeting anything in the morning was a joke for me. I'm not bouncy, by any means, but I am functioning. I can do the things that I need to for the most part now. I couldn't before Abilify.
It was also great, not having to switch my other meds up/out/around. That could've meant the need for hospitalization until the effects were certain. Adding Abilify might not work for everyone, but oh, I'm so grateful it has for me.
My cycle of "normal" then depressed for a time, has shifted. My periods of depression are a little less extreme and I'm better able to reach out for help and acknowledge my need for help, before finally accepting the help offered.
I have to save myself ultimately, by reaching for the lifesaver that's thrown to me.
