Abilify is ok. I find sulpiride much scarier. The thing with psychiatric medicine is that everone reacts different to it. You can try it and see if it has any side effects for you or not. For ex. I take mirtazapine for sleep. I don't have any side effects whatsoever and feel perfectly normal, but someone i know has terrible side effects from it. If you are worried i would suggest talking with your doctor. There are many other medicine that can help anxiety if you really don't want to take antipsychotics.

Also think for yourself. There is a different between needing medicine and not wanting medicine. I don't want sleep meds, but i need it. Do you feel that you are extremely anxious, why not try it. And it would probably be a good idea to talk to a psychologist if you really suffer from anxiety. Medicine help but in the long run you need to learn how to deal with it and a psychologist can help.

Btw if you are scared of potential brain damage from any medicine, this doesnt occur if you take it for a short term. Any medicine has the potential to do harm if you take it forever in high doses. So you should be fine with just trying.

Stay strong!

I'm forced to take antipsychotics against my will and also potentially against my well being unfortunately, that's the atrocious law here where I live.
I have not experienced thinking problems like the ones of my PCS, but I suffer from side effects like restlessness and severe difficulty concentrating.
By the way, why do you think that Abilify is okay unlike other antipsychotics?

Sorry for being annonying with my countless questions, but what do you mean by short term?
A matter of weeks, months or years is necessary to do brain damage, especially to a sensitive brain like a PCS one?

Personally i have no knowledge about effects of antypsychotics on pcs because i never had patient being put on antipsychotics. I know benzos are not good for tbi but alsi not horrible. A lot of patients take benzos because they need it. Short term is more like several months. There isn't a definitive answer for that. Everybody reacts different. Some can take it for years withouth problems
