In reply to YES - Abilify attention problems, posted by TrishP on December 11, 2006, at 15:49:50
> Yes, yes, yes. I have a slight case of ADD and Abilify makes it almost impossible to watch TV, read a book or concentrate at work. I find myself flipping the channels constantly. I can't seem to focus.
Yes, that's exactly how it is for me. I mean, normally I have a hard time reading, sitting still, paying attention in meetings. But it's gotten out of control! I can hardly watch TV. Movies are next to impossible. I've been at a couple of plays recently and I found myself looking at my watch thinking "when is the intermission!" It's really really bad. I really hope that since now I'm off the Abilify, these problems will get better.
> Wellbutrin was GREAT for my slight ADD, but it made me irritable. I go back to the doc in Jan. and it might be worth doing soemthing about.
Good luck. Are you still taking the Abilify?
