yes, it has been indicated to treat Bipolar now, and I am taking it for Bipolar. I believe it was first indicated for Psychosis and/or schitzophrenic behavior.

this is difficult for me cuz of the freaky way i grew up- now i am a mom & i have trouble with dicipline - i am a push over.
i take what she (daughter) says way too personal- and once i am down that road- it seems like things get really messed up & it becomes a major ordeal

does ambilify work for you?

I love my abilify as part of my cocktail for Bipolar II. I take a low dose to help with some of the paranoia and delusions and it's great. It used to sound like a room full of people whispering in my head, all this static and noise.Three days after starting abilify, the noise was gone. The downside is that it made me rapid cycle so I'm on lithium too. the other downside is that unless you have really excellent insurance (which I do) it is ungodly expensive and won't be in generic until 2014.

It's an anti-psychotic and a mood stabilizer.
