Thank you all for your input. It is comforting to know that I am not alone but it makes me sad to know that so many thoughtful people are suffering. In the beginning, I was resentful for having to take medication just because I wanted to be okay without it. Now, however, I feel trapped because of the Abilify. If you haven't see my other post, I started Abilify and gained lots of weight, tried to stop, but became suicidal, restarted the Abilify and improved almost immediately. I am now gaining lots of weight again but am afraid that I am "dependent" on the drug and that if I stop it again, I will again become suicidal instead of returning to my pre-Abilify level of functioning. I am sure this is the reason for my current level of hopelessness and frustration. Again, thank you and I wish you all the very best.
Alex
