I've been taking abilify (aripiprazole) for 1.5 yrs (5mg a day) and it literally saved my life! but the study says it shrinks the brain by 1% a year! is this true!?

I have not heard: this. one study may find that but how big was the sample size? was it a good representation of the general population or was it skewed toward a certain group of people.? you have to read studies carefully with informed knowledge b4 panicking unnecessarily. Talk to your doctor about your concerns. good luck.
