I am taking Abilify to treat schizophrenia, so my treatment options are limited. I wish there would be something other than an AP that I could use. Treatment with Abilify has been very successful for me. Before treatment I suffered paranoid delusions regarding aliens, and constructed foil window coverings for all of our windows so aliens couldn't beam us out of our house at night while we slept. I also have a 5 year old, who I was too scared to let sleep down the hall in his own room, so he had to sleep with us in our room. Another one of my symptoms was communicating with a spirit named Vitrus. She seemed evil. Since treatment with Abilify I have had remarkably little disturbance, or fear. I guess I partly wonder if my delusions are in remission or have gone away completely, unless paranoia about TD is actually just a symptom. I'm really freaked out about it. Should I try to go off the Abilify and see what happens? My pdoc is sympathetic to my plight, but suggests I stay on the Abilify. He also stresses that the choice is totally up to me. I have no side effects that I can recognize from either the Celexa, Klonopin, or the Abilify. My only problem is fear of developing TD from the Abilify.
