I can only go with my own experience. On Abilify for several months, and during that time I didn't experience a single side effect. I also did not experience a single benefit. It was like popping a Tic-Tac.
So now I'm on Cytomel and I can actually tell it's doing something at least slightly positive.
While I appreciate the intent of the people making the video, it seems a little light on verifiable facts regarding Abilify deaths. Unfortunately, I think the video is going to scare more people than it helps.
My rule is always this: if you have a concern about a treatment regime, get on the phone with your doctor and discuss your concerns. Believe me, these psychiatrists want to preserve their licenses and insurance at all costs, and the intelligent ones are not going to take a chance prescribing a medication if they know or suspect that, if used properly, it may still kill their patients.
