Bipolar bear (clever name btw) is half-right. He is correct in the sense that abusing any medication is dangerous. I am an interning psychiatrist and Abilify is one of the medications I prescribe most frequently. It is an effective atypical antipsychotic for the management of bipolar induced mania and I have found Abilify is often helpful in treating depressive disorder when use conjunctively with SSRIs, sNRIs, and tricyclic antidepressants. But bipolar bear is mistaken in claiming Abilify is capable of producing a 'high.'
When the FDA is in the process of approving a new drug that actively affects the central nervous system, they have to determine if the drug has abusive potential. To have abusive potential a drug must have some variety of mood-lifting, euphoric, or anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) effects. Also, people given the drug must report some 'likability' in the drug's instantaneous effect. For example patients given opioids,benzodiazepines or amphetamines will report they perceive the effect the drug induces, as pleasurable. Once a drug is deemed to have abusive potential along with a medical benefit, it will be scheduled according to the severity of the addiction is capable of producing. If a drug is very abusive but has no approved medical value,it will be schedule 1 If it is very abusive but has medical value it will be schedule 2. If it is abusive and has medical value, schedule 3. If it is moderately abusive, schedule 4. If it is minority abusive, schedule 5.
Ability has no scheduling restrictions, meaning based on conclusive research this drug has no recreational value.
What you felt was most likely the placebo effect. Also, bipolar bear referred to Abilify as a 'stimulating antipsychotic' which is a contradiction in it's self. Consider the other name for antipsychotics is major tranquilizers, the antithesis of any stimulant. What bipolar bear felt was most likely an adverse reaction, which is essentially when someone has a paradoxical reaction to a drug. Like having a sleeping pill keep you up. Also, the feeling of wanting to pace around, is common with antipsychotics and is not the product of stimulation or a high, but it's called akathisia.
I do not condone drug use, but if you absolutely feel the desire to be in an altered state. Abilify is no going to help you...
