Open original source ↗
abilify did this to me, I only took it for about a month and then I stopped, but I had blank mind and no emotions and couldnt remember shit I did 5 minutes ago, and sometimes even 30 seconds ago. ... It took about 6 months before things started getting better but they did. About a year to recover to acceptable levels.
