I was prescribed low-dose Abilify for the treatment of ME/CFS. In the beginning the Abilify helped, some cognitive function came back, and I could watch TV again.
But after finding my root causes (toxic mold) and changing to a carnivore diet, my ME/CFS got better naturally.
After a postage delay of my prescription, I decided to quit the Abilify cold turkey. What followed was a nightmare on earth. I became bedridden again, sound and light sensitive, couldn't sleep, had severe hair loss, and thought my ME/CFS came back. That's what doctors have told me.
