It depends on the dose and duration
I agree with this in addition to an individual person's metabolism and their body's ability to process the medication.
Most people who had abilify long term negative side effects went on dosages like 15mg and higher for a year or so.
This is another example of side effects being subjective experiences that manifest differently for each of us. I've been on the max dose of Abilify, 30mg, for over a dozen years. Every single day. I can't recall having any real side effects other than not having psychosis. Seroquel made me tired as shit and Risperdal injections and pills sucked way worse than Abilify ever has.
People who took 20mg olanzapine long term also seem to get fucked up long term.

I met people who took clozapine for 10 years straight and they seemed to suffer less worse side effects than a single injection.
I've never taken Clozapine or Olanzapine but do agree 100% that for some reason, long acting injectable meds have the worst side effects.

I’m on 400 mg of the Abilify Maintena injection and it blows. Not as bad as Invega but it still sucks
 
Hey guys, it’s been a while since I’ve updated. I’m 7 months off, and I’m doing slightly better. It’s a very gradual process. I still have no energy, and cognitively im a lil slow, but akithisia has cleared up almost entirely, and my Anhedonia is a lot better than before. I’ve actually had the urge to, and have been playing a lot of a game called Garry’s Mod. I play it almost all day lately, and im part of a community on there. I was actually promoted to the staff team (we handle problem players and moderate racism and trolling and such), and I’ve been making friends on there. I used to staff on Garry’s mod from like 2014-2018, so it’s nice to be doing something I used to enjoy. I haven’t been suicidal in a good while, which is great compared to when I was on Invega, I was thinking about suicide 10+ times a day. Anyways, I think I’m kinda recovering, but I don’t think I’ll ever be my old self again, at least not quite.

I don't think I'll be my former self either, it's just not possible but we'll see.
 
What about you?
Well I’m still on the Abilify Maintena shots right now but I’m waning off of the Lithium. I’m down to 600 mg. Next week it’ll be 300 mg and then nothing. That’ll help but my dopamine receptors will still be blocked. Just gotta be patient and wait it out and wait until a good time to come off

Do you also find no desire to do anything?
I lost my desire and patience for everything, even watching videos that suppose to be addictive, feels like a chore.

Yeah pretty much. My motivation to do anything is gone really but I still do it. At least when I jack off I still get pleasure from it so that’s nice. That was out of the question on Invega

There's no point for me to do nofap now when my body is barely producing any se**n. I won't feel the benefits like before.
I guess I'll have to wait on that one.
