I first started smoking weed at 15 and I loved it. But about half a year later, I got bored of it so I tried other things such as shrooms, extacy, LSD, and salvia. By the end of the school year, I got prescribed with Zolof and Abilify and I had this curiosity of snorting these pills.

Summary
Aripiprazole is an atypical antipsychotic, sold under the brand name Abilify. It acts as a partial agonist at dopamine D2 and serotonin 5-HT1A receptors and an antagonist at 5-HT2A receptors, and is used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and as an adjunct in major depressive disorder. It is not an opioid and is not a recreational drug.

Onset, Duration & After-effects
| ROA | Onset | Comeup | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oral | 30-60 min | 3-5 hrs | 3.5-6 hrs |
Tolerance
Build-up
develops within days of regular use; analgesic tolerance faster than respiratory depression tolerance
Reset
7–14 days for partial reset; full reset may take weeks — tolerance loss greatly increases overdose risk
Tolerance Decay
Full tolerance
1d
Half tolerance
21d
Baseline
~35d
Acute tolerance: develops within a single session — the reset numbers above apply after sustained heavy use, not after one binge. Within-session tachyphylaxis usually resets largely overnight.

I started smoking pot when I was 15, but very, very rarely until I entered college at age 19. I had been an A student but became very upset at the world at that point, I did not get into Harvard, Princeton or Yale and my safety school didn't impress me that much.
A few years ago I was prescribed this medication by a psychiatrist as a short term drug to see how I reacted to it as I was experiencing low mood, poor motivation & lethargy (14 x 25mg tablets). Since this was a few years ago, I don't remember the specific activities I engaged in.
I was prescribed lexapro, abilify, and klonopin by my psychiatrist. After years of being on the medications I stopped getting any soothing effects. I've always had a thing for snorting pills so I decided to take my average 2mg dose of abilify and up it to 6mg (which is still a very low dose.) Almost immediately after s...
I got this medication for something I wasn't sure I had. During the first week of 10 mg I felt an extreme sleepiness. During the next few weeks I slept all the time, sometimes I didn't realize that I fell asleep. The doctor told me that this effect was not supposed to happen.
I was admitted to the hospital for having delusions two weeks ago. I thought I was Jesus Christ, I thought my parents were robots. I felt high even though I had not taken any drugs and made my parents bring me to the hospital because I thought I had been poisoned.
Abilify is generally the second anti-psychotic recommended by the mindless pill-dispensers. Restlessness is the main side effect. I reduce my illness down to the fact that if I am comfortable eating and sleeping I will not have an episode.

I was bored out of my fucking mind with absolutely nothing to do and zero drugs anywhere. No plugs, no prescriptions, no stash, nothing. Just me, withdrawal-level boredom, and a medicine cabinet I’d already checked a hundred times.
