I despise medication.

The first med I was ever put on was Abilify when I was 12.
I have been on a million different anti-depressants and anti-psychotics throughout the years, but this is the one I hate the most.
It made me feel careless and like a zombie. I didn't care about anyone or myself. Ontop of that, I gained a lot of weight on it.
I started my 7th grade year at about 90 lbs and ended it at at least 120. I ballooned up and got stretch marks and cellulite from it as well (making me a very self-conscience 12 year old).
They mixed Abilify with other things, took me off, put me back on, etc and I would say I would never recommend it.
I was on Wellbutrin for a few months and weened myself off in September 2013 and was off all meds and started doing so much better. I was motivated and happy. I wanted to go out and be with friends and have fun.
I went to my doctor and she even agreed I was doing better and took me off in November.
My advice: never go on meds as a first-resort. Some people need them; others don't.
