I've been taking Abilify for about one month now and it's helping already in a few ways. However, I believe I'm experiencing something that might be described as "boredom" (I've never had issues with that) and intense nicotine cravings. I used to smoke and every once in awhile feel the urge, but this seems related to the medication. Anyone relate? Insights?

I can relate with the boredom. In my case, Abilify has stimulated me so that I'm not content to just not do anything like I was when I was very depressed. I have to find something to keep my interest now. I actually take the boredom as a good sign that I'm pulling out of my old depressive ways.

I haven't experienced any effect on my nicotine cravings.

I too had intense nic cravings and ended up going back to smoking after a year and a half quitting, when on Ablilify.

Ever consider vaping?  That's how I quit before.  I still do both only now I vape 0 nic liquid.

Thanks for your feedback! Yes, I've considered vaping. I'll look into it more. I did buy a pack of cloves the other day. Can't say I'm addicted now, but could become if I'm not careful.
