I started taking abilify 10mg, four days ago.
Since then, I've had UNBELIEVABLE sickness (nasua) and restlessness.
The restlessness is NOT good considering I already suffer from Fibromyalgia.
One of the side effects I did NOT see on the list at the Abilify website is blurry vision or "cloudyness"
Every time I blink my eyes, It takes a few seconds to focus again, by that time, I'm ready to blink again. I feel like my head is in a cloud, and the blurryness or "unevenness" is really starting to bother me. it got so bad today that I had to pull over, and call my husband, who had to take a cab to come and get me becuase I coulnd't drive anymore.
Is this a NORMAL side effect that I might have missed reading about somewhere??
I KNOW that everyone experiences different side effects and that the meds affect everyone differently. I was just wondering if this is something that anyone else has had issues with.

My boyfriend got tazered 3 times and was still ok, able to function and he would have fought off the police if i wouldnt have been there, because i was having a panic attack and he was worried about me... but my question is, do you think that it would take a really strong person to be able to do this? I have heard it is really hard to still be able to fight when it happens to people. Is that true? He still had full strength, and when he was talking to parametics they were in shock. What do you think? There is really a reason for all that happend so dont be all like , "you shouldn't be with him" ,etc. please... thanks!

I really don't like seeing the cuts that she has all over her arms, and wrists. She thinks it's fun because her so-called "friends" do it. The marks are nasty, and she acts differently now. She is also cutting herself in really dangerous places by the arm, she gets help from our schools counselor, but it still worries me. What can i do to help, or what can i do to help her stop, i don't want to lecture her like a parent... HELP!!

Why is that I read lots of other peoples responses and they say things like, "You can't catch AIDS this way.." or "You get AIDS from unprotected sex..."? It really bothers me to see how many people are uniformed. You DON'T get AIDS from someone else, you get HIV. Only blood tests can tell if someone has AIDS- cd4 cells fall below 200 and then a person is medically diagnosed with AIDS. It's also important to know that AIDS is NOT a virus;It is a term used to describe certain illnesses connected with HIV- go read up on it people (http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/topics/basic/index.htm).

I admit I don't eat as much as most adults but if I eat until I am full isn't that okay? I have been thin all my life. I eat what I want and don't watch my weight. If I want chocolate I will eat it. But when we are out at someone's house or at a restaurant I can't eat the amount everyone else does. But if I eat what I want, when I want and how much I want wouldn't that mean I am not anorexic even if it isn't much compared to other people? And isn't it rude for people to say that? Isn't that just as bad as commenting on someone's weight if they are over weight?

WELL i don't really have *stuff* on my skin, it is more like a small piece/flap of skin that sticks out, Just like a toe sticks out of your foot!! but on like a 1/50th scale size, like 2/4 of a cm id say, I was going to attempt tearing it but i decided not to because it is pretty much one with my skin, it is just like a lump of skin sticking out and i know it would hurt REALLY BAD if I tore and it would bleed a LOT, also just a side note, i am a male and it is right next to my genitals. I am just asking here because i might save a trip to the doc to get something removed ya know?

I have an ear infection, and I was perscribed oral antibiotics last week. I've been taking them for 6 days, but my hearing is still muffled, and I'm still getting discharge from my ear. The last time I had an ear infection, my hearing cleared up right away, but I was also perscribed ear-drops that time. Is it normal that my hearing is still muffled? How long does it normally take to clear? Should I go back and ask my doctor for eardrops?

I can't get my mom to stop smoking in the house. She says that second hand smoke is a facade...

When I leave my hair and clothes smell like smoke. I tell her its ba for everyone in the house, but she says its BS. She even smokes in the car with the window up. What should I do?

I recently found this resource, (Yahoo answers) while checking my sons Computer history. I found a lot of web research on bi polar disorder, depression, and smoking cessation.

My son is bi-polar according to the information I gave a psychiatrist. Why he could not go himself? He refuses to.

He is a 15 year old, and I break my back for him. He is in an amazing school (private, of which I pay the tuition,) and wants to become a veterinarian.

But I fear he may, at some point, attempt suicide or homocide. He has severe anger problems, and hits his brother for the littlest thing. The doctor said it wasn't just teenage hormones and to hospitalize him in a mental institution. I would put him in ER but I do not know if he is in *immediate* suicide danger.

He says, on a moral, not defensive standpoint, that interfering with a planned suicide is wrong, and that it is one persons choice, and forcing someone to live miserably or force them medication is immoral.

Opinions? Suggestions please

Whats the difference between sea salt and aquarium salt? Like, can you use sea salt for aquariums and can you use aquarium salt instead of sea salt. My friend asked me if she could use aquarium salt for her piercing and I wasn't so sure.

My orto dontist told me I have to wear rubber bands to school! They are almost as bad as headgear! My friend told me they move just as fast if you wear them hlf the day and double them up, but I may have my braces on longer! So I can either... 1. Wear them to school, live with the insults, and get them off in 4 weeks.. or.... 2. DO NOT deal with the insults, continue being cool, and get my braces off in 6 weeks.

Answer as if you were a 13 year old girl in the middle of the school year with a ton of friends! WHAT TO DO!

I am going to go on Zyban to quit smoking. I'm pumping myself up to do this as it is so unhealthy and expensive. I don't want to fail, I want to quit this time. Does anybody have any tips that worked for them. Also, how long after you quit did you still crave cigarettes?
