I noticed very early on! Within the first two-three weeks I noticed a change. And when I forget to take my meds/don't take them for a week or whatever, once I start taking them again the abilify seems to kick in right away (a few days). It's one of the best medications I've personally been on. It boosts Paraxotine for me, and it works VERY well. Good luck with it, dear!!! 💗

Is great for me. I also take cymbaltas and rexalti and the combo is amazing and keeps me in a healthy place. I get depressed but it's a healthy range, it's bearable!

It took almost exactly 2 weeks for me. It was a struggle to adjust to, but really worth it. I've worked up to 20mg that I take at night.

I have been on Abilify for a year as of last month. It has helped tremendously with my mood overall. It is currently preventing me from relapsing into another manic or depressed state. I would say that the side effects are worth the benefits (for me, at least).

Abilify helped me so much when I was on it! I had no weight gain, and no hallucinations!
