I wouldn't doubt it. It made my thinking more sporadic so that probably could happen. Most of these medications also have a risk of suicide. So if you have an addiction problem already, I probably wouldn't take it.

Abilify is horrible. I was on it twice and both times I became homicidal as well as attempted suicide. It literally made my moods worse. Prozac, Depakote, Geodon and Abilify are the worst.
