“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. Id go around in circles checking on things. Did I put that dog in? Did I give that one her meds? Trying to process reading something more than a few short simple sentences long was almost impossible Id just find myself staring off into space. It took about 6 months before things started getting better but they did. About a year to recover to acceptable levels. Recovery happens in most cases I think, its just really really slow. Sometimes people dont recover, but I think giving it a year or two before you start thinking you might be in that population is reasonable”
