- Denise's doctor put her on Abilify to help with her depression. Shortly after, she went on a six-month long gambling run, and thinks the drug may have been responsible.

This woman was gambling long before the drug. The depression probably made it worse.
it's probably a lot more than 156k since she is just estimating
double that.
@@w.urlitzer1869 ya 4k a hand doesn't take long to build up
There's a reason why our grandparents & great grandparents wanted this activity banned, and it was!!!!!
The addiction machine feeds on depression. I think casinos should start being held accountable when people drop that kind of money in an hour. Unless your what they consider a whale, they know you don't normally got that money. I know people are adults but they do get a sickness in gambling. The casinos feed on it and they just don't care since there aren't any rules preventing their greed.
But most casinos will always have a way to get you back in or if they don’t stick to their promise to ban them you can still go with no worries of getting kicked out
Because you choose to go their, medication or not.
She rode her bike 35 miles!!! Omg-
I wouldnt even do that to gamble.
😂😂😂 Yeah 35 mi? Fuck that! Imagine the ride back home after a loss
It was the drug giving urges !!
@@regalherbsman5938😂😂😂
I would! 😂 thank god I stopped gambling and doing pills! Pills and gambling went hand in hand!
@@regalherbsman5938lmao that's rough
I hate gambling. I got hooked.
I don't know the medication this lady was on. But I had a gambling addiction for many years. I had not gambled for a number of years. I was found to have parkinsons disease. I was put on a medication called Sifrol. I began gambling worse than ever. I no longer take the medication, and am almost 3 years in recovery of gambling today
well done
Gambling addiction is the worst.
When you're down which is usually when you're out of money, you're feeling a bottomless pit of despair, unlike any other. Waking up physically hurts and only comfort is sleep (possible usually though abuse of meds). This is probably when you're also terrified of how you will pay bills, make ends meet. You want to gamble to have that win to make the pain go away, but you know you can't really because the pennies in your pockets are vital to you now. And it gets worse. Just as you start feeling a little better, perhaps you get paid, the addiction creeps up on you and you make that one bet and it spirals you back to that pit of despair again. I doesn't give you a break. It attacks when you're finally feeling just a tidy bit hopefull again. It's pure evil. Casinos should be banned.
Gambling is now so prevalent in the United States, and the addiction, I would have to agree on banning the activity once again.
Happen to me.
I want casinos banned from California
Personal responsibility - you can’t just ban things due to some people having a lack of self control
You never smoked crack , for days .
@@walterslemmus733Wouldn't stop a fly, gambling is everywhere, as u know .
Even when people get over their immense gambling addictions and say they have turned their lives around, you can always see the hurt still in their eyes. They never seem fully right again.
They struggle internally while they gamble (there is guilt and shame). There is the knowledge that you aren't in control of yourself. Clearly part of her was aware of letting her family down as well as her employer and her co-workers. Every lie is another scar. I think surviving and coming out the other side is a bit like PTSD. Your comment is very insightful and compassionate.
so true. is it shame from the cash loss?
Trust me we're not !!!
@@stevensonjc21 I was forced to take abilify as a child. I have no joy in life as an adult. It takes that joy away from you, forever.
It's the realization that you basically fell for a scam. I personally hate to lose and couldn't accept the loss. The loss of how you worked hard to earn $ that is gone forever. It could've been used towards something positive. It's humiliation knowing that machine could hit, but they reprogrammed it after it's been hot.
I had a close family member that this happened to. Abilify is dangerous!
Jason...your story resonates with so many who suffer from addiction. God Bless you Sir!
No matter how much you win you can'y buy back time.
I just quit going to the casino. It’s been a month so far and I just wanna go back to the life I had before my friend introduced me to this horrible life.
A lot of people love gambling that's why these casino's aren't going anywhere soon. Seems like one pops up every other day
Vyvanse did it to me I quit the drug horrible withdrawals but all those cravings to gamble went away. Thank God it wasn’t devastating to me but I can easily see how it could have been. It was drinking and gambling stopped taking it and it all went away
Phenibut does it to me. And I can't get off phenibut
She’s playing her biggest hand yet suing Abilify lol
Yeah whatever. Abilify ruined my life as well. It can cause not only gambling but also overspending. I also had a lot of weight gain on it.
Also, something that I found out is that Abilify has 2100 cases against it.
In addition, the doctors who prescribe drugs from pharmaceutical companies get money incentives, free trips to exotic locations, even free meals and all sorts of perks. No wonder we all see so many pharmaceutical companies putting ads on TV just to get you to ask your doctor about toe fungus as well as a big variety of many pill concoctions. You cannot tell me that when you watch TV or even Hulu (since they now make you watch commercials) that you don't see an overabundance of all kinds of drug medications. It's a huge multimillion cash grab. If you don't believe me, then by all means look into yourself. But, next time you decide to write such a comment, at least look into it yourself instead of making smart elke remarks on media sites such as RUclips.
😂
@@paulp939 keep laughing, it could be you, your family or a friend who is put on Abilify and you end up like this? It'll be real funny then.😲
@@lucakat9262 I was put on abilify when i was a kid to 'fix' me. I don't experience joy anymore. It took that away form me somehow. Also, I am not fixed.
America my friend...lol....
Did this news reporter say that this woman gambled away $50,000 in an hour!? WTF
I freak out after I lose $1,000
Shoot i freak out if I lose $100 lol
It happens I've lost more than 5k 😢😢sad i m battling it
@@CarZoneArena by playing slots?
I freak out after I lose $10 😂
Abilify depresses me so bad all I want to do is compulsively eat shop and when I do gamble I lose all my money too. I don't have the money to gamble but I wish I did which is not good. I hate this medicine. I could see myself doing this on abilify. I make bad decisions and feel impaired. I am extremely impulsive on abilify.
Remember, people! *Never* even *start* gambling! You have no reason to start; you know the game is made so that you'll lose. That's the point of the game. It's not charity; it's a business, where the company doesn't just make sure they lose more than they get.
I mean, I have always been a successful sports and poker gambler and have won a poop load of money. I would have been a miserable loser otherwise, I will admit I am addicted and my success story may be like 1 out of every 5 thousand people or so when it comes to what I started with and ow much I have made
I know an older retired guy that is on various drugs for a range of medical conditions, & he told me that one of those drugs has the apparent side effects of either making one want to gamble or molest children...well he also told me that he had just lost $25,000 on the slots all in the same day...but as far as I know the children are safe though?
He’s a battyman
Tobacco addiction does the same thing to people.
Drugs absolutely help you compulsive gamble!! I experienced it!! When I was taking opiates and amphetamines I always had the urge to gamble!! After I got clean and stopped drug use, i also stopped my gambling issues!!
🙌💕
being manic, I am indestructible, even if your wrong you think you are right and everyone else is wrong
so how did the lawsuit turn out?
Not cool to have a gambling add before the video ... trigger alert !!!
Right? Everytime theres a documentary I watch on gambling addiction I see a casino ad. I mean I like a good casino myself but this is just insane
If anyone reading this is thinking about going to a casino due to you not being able to think you can control the urge, just give your money to me and save yourself the gas. Because that's exactly what you're doing. Giving it away.
I used to take Escitalopram for 3 years, also have compulsive gambling issue.
Such a great idea to combine that amount of exercise (bike riding) with gambling - that would make things much better in my case.
Lol
It is really hard to get out once you hooked up especially if you lost a lot of money😭
I think I'll get drunk, wreck my car, then file suit against Ford and Jack Daniels and while I'm at it hit the fire department up for putting that fire hydrant in my way. All 3 should be good for several million. Lady please....smh.......
Did you listen to the video? FOUR years the drug makers knew the problem but didn't include the warning in the U.S. until they were forced to. Pay up!!
She was miserable in her marriage & didn't want to be a mom. But she was trapped. Gambling was the only thing that gave her happiness. Now she is back to faking her happiness again.
I fell her pain mystic lake casino is a place I chose for my weekend but after years goes by it break my heart to see what I have become.
Well, learn how to win at Baccarat and all your problems will go away.
I hear ya and understand. Hope you’re feeling and doing better these days. 💕
Found something to blame her behavior on. They always "appear "to have the perfect life. No one has.
Good information for the Casino to slip you a mickey of Abilify in your drinks while you gamble.
like in the movies jerry!
If you feel in a trance while you are gambling, something is causing that trance.
@@biggawinnacrapsa3870 I’m always in a trance at the casino. I don’t take my eyes off the machine.
Such a destructive addiction.
The ad that played before this video was a Bet MGM ad. Sigh
Here's an idea. Take abilify (or even just allege to, pick up the prescriptions and burn them), put your life savings on black, and if you lose, sue the company. If you win, keep it and pretend abilify never happened.
There are huge lawsuits about ambian causing gambling
Even the class action lawsuit itself is a form of gambling by hoping to extract a windfall from the pharmaceutical company through the legal system. It's called a litigation lottery.
I think valium as the dang same effect on me .... Maybe I should sue the company that make valium.....
Maybe you are right.....I never gambled before then I was prescribed Valium few years later I'm a compulsive gambler as a matter of fact I lost $1400 dollars yesterday 😭😭😭
There have been class actions going on for years but it is hard to get justice for all involved. The numbers in class actions is huge. The companies would cease to exist if the ever made settlements to all. It began years ago. Unnatural is no good. Organics and detox treatments and gardening are more helpful. Do not use harsh chemicals or aresols. Be productive in the home by rising early and doing useful projects. Even cooking a batch of homemade cooking helps and is a good thing to do. Laugh if you wish but I think it begins in your home recovery. Help yourself. End using toxic sprays. Google search will offer great choices in detoxing home and life.
So a regular person who suffers from depression and addiction gets s**ted on and yet we still praise celebrities like Chester Bennington for opening up about their struggles?!
That’s like me blaming Adderall on my gambling lol
It’s just a horrendous addiction I hate myself as well
What about Adderall?
The only reason she stopped gambling is because the shit hit the fan. And it coincided with trying to find excuses. Which she blamed her medication. The husband is a tool for taking her back
i play music for a living and i was playing all day while coming off this shit
i wrote some funny stuff trying to be sane again but i need to get a suit before i hurt these companies
Same thing happened on prozac.
Ah ah ah ah ah just lost 300 and going crazy 🤪 🤪
Now only this is in america, EVEN THE CONTINETS ALSO HAVE CASINOS
Husband still with her?
The company who made Abilify is in kahoots with the casinos. Lol Give me a break.
Actually it's not the casinos darling. It's the pharmaceutical companies that are making billions of dollars a year on selling these medications. Plus, the doctors who prescribe them: they get money incentives, free trips, even free meals at luxury restaurants. If you don't believe me, then by all means, look into and do your research.
When i smoke meth. Ohhhhh shut i gamble like there is no tomorrow
fino frnco>? eveer seen someone in a meth rage>? yes one should know better than to take drugs i was illegally court ordered to take this
NO
She was already depressed- it wasn’t the pill - winning made up for the unsatisfying life at home!
Look into ability before making such judgments. It is a dangerous drug. It causes all kinds of problems for people. And she's not the only person in the world who has taken ability and wound up gambling and overspending money. Last time I checked, there were 2100 lawsuits against Abilify.
Glad her husband did something...
There are two types of addiction loose money and gain money , .make money by buying selling goods
Thrifting/flipping is much safer and profitable compared to gambling.
I think she gambled before she took the drug, she’s just using the drug as a scapegoat for her reckless behaviour. Now she’s hoping to get some money from the lawsuit to cover some of the losses. She knows what she did.
Look into the medication itself before making assumptions you know nothing about. Abilify causes not just gambling but also overspending, over eating and hypersexuality. Just research it yourself. It ruined my life in many ways which I am not going to discuss with someone who makes judgments but actually doesn't know a thing about what he is saying.
CPA smh
It is mental illness
It's always accountants and bookkeepers who end up defrauding their workplaces gambling. That end up in the news.
I lost $50k Sorry Mom And Sister
Fuck yeah it can. Happening to me right now.
alcohol does the same thing
@@rbnzo25 your so wrong you dont even no it
@@rbnzo25 statistics do not lie, people who have drunk alcohol take greater risks
@@rbnzo25 I don't know your situation but I stopped drinking because it made me do wrong things like gambling, now that I no longer drink I no longer feel like putting myself in those situations
So wrong
Sometimes you gotta take ownership and not blame a pill for your decisions.
We’re adults.
Unless u been there don’t speak on it like that bro. Sometimes we will move all the wrong mountains just to numb the pain for even just a short period of time. I’m not making excuses but adults can have demons. Demons that are far beyond comprehension to an outsider.
@justin Michel oh yhea just like blaming the alcohol not the alcoholic
Idk man the more you understand about how these drugs effect the brain the more you’ll understand this woman.
@@Dm-wf5ro I have never heard anybody once say that
I was on Abilify for years and it was horrible. Weight gain, overspending to the point of bankruptcy and being addicted to buying stuff on eBay.
Thank God I got off of it. I didn't realize I was that bad until I got off of it. I initially went off of it because of the weight gain. I ballooned up, gaining 70lbs and ended up weighing 200lbs. I had never been so fat in all my life. I told my doctor about it and all he said was that I needed to exercise more, which I did. But that still didn't help. I told my mom about it and she said she definitely thought it was the antidepressant I was on. So I began tapering myself off of it. I began by taking half of a pill and then a quarter and then completely stopped.
Afterwards, I found I was eating smaller meals like I did when I was skinny. Then I noticed other bad behaviors went away. I no longer spent tons of money on a bunch of stuff that I actually never needed in the first place. And I quit being addicted to buying stuff on eBay.
Plus, I truly began to come back to reality. When you are on Abilify, you become numb, lack apathy, you don't feel like you are living in the real world.
Listen I'm not going to go into all the bad stuff I did on Abilify, but let's just say, it was really bad. I even lost friends and family because of all the crap I did on that drug. Suffice to say, it was not worth taking.
When I looked more closely into the side effects, I had them all. And I looked up court cases. Come to find out, Abilify had 2100 cases against it for gambling and overspending money. It also said it caused over eating, and hypersexuality.
In addition, I found out that the pharmaceutical company that makes Abilify (and a lot of other antidepressants), actually gives money incentives, free trips to exotic locations, even free meals at top restaurants to doctors who prescribe these medications.
If you don't believe me than just research it yourself. All the facts are on reputable websites, articles in magazines and so forth. So, yes, in fact, I do believe this woman. Perhaps before making insults to people who say "a pill made me do this', you should look into the information on Abilify and find out for yourself instead of trying to belittle people who know this drug is dangerous.
Also, my quack doctor told me that 'all medications for depression work the same' and that the 'side effects are rare, so don't worry about it.' Both of those statements are wrong.
Sure, you'll see some people say it worked great for them. But you must remember that not all antidepressants work alike for every individual. We are all different and sometimes, these meds interfere with the normal life you used to have. Many of my friends and family were shocked at all the crap I was doing. They kept telling me to please go back to the nice, honest and good person you used to be. But I didn't know what was wrong with me for quite some time. It was awful and I wouldn't wish it off on my worst enemy.
Oh, and yes, I do take all responsibility for everything I did wrong. Because, after all, it was me who took the pills and I should have looked into it myself instead. Looking back at my depression, I realize that I was not so depressed in the first place. I just was going through a minor bad slope. I wish I hadn't listened to the doctor who told me it would help me. From now on, if I take any pill, be it a heart medication or any other drug they try to put me on, I will definitely be looking into any and all side effects. Plus, yes, I'll even look up any possible court cases to see if anyone else is having any problems with any/all medications. You just never know sometimes what a doctor is really prescribing a pill for. So buyer definitely beware.😳
sure it's the medicine's fault for her OWN ACTIONS
You’re a dummy, go read up on the drug before you assume
Okay
Oh please blame the meds not yourself
I suggest you read up on Abilify before saying things like that. Abilify causes gambling, overspending, over eating and hypersexuality. Not everyone has all 4. But most have at least 2. Last time I looked, Abilify had 2100 legal cases against it.
i hope she won anyways,
She likes to donate to the Indians.
Me too - some of my best friends.
yeah this is crap...she's trying hit the lawsuit jackpot. I've been around gamblers my whole life...
Ask her if she's filed a lawsuit. I will BET YOU $100 she has. LOL
@@rbnzo25 ...lol!
She did - did you not watch the video?
I am god
Garbage pharmacy business.
complete bullshit. gambling is a drug in its self. nobody forcing you to play. we are responsible for all actions. we have become the land of the offended. don't sham me because I gamble. I love the way
This is about ADDICTION... The drug Abilify TRIGGERS the addictive behavior. If you don't understand Addiction, forget about it.
Why don’t you read up on Abilify before spewing whatever bs comes out of your head? There are lawsuits against this drug for gambling related side-effects, so it’s been proven
A drug does not cause gambling addiction
But it does. Look up Abilify and see how many people are sueing the company. Last time I checked, there were 2100 legal cases against it because of this. So please don't be one of those people who can't see the forest for the trees. Look it up yourself. Abilify causes not only gambling but also overspending, weight gain and hypersexuality. Most people suffer from at least 2 of these behaviors.
Gambling is the best and vaping is too
Always been a successful sports gambler as there is always value to be had on a few bets each day... Most people who lose are just stupid people in my honest opinion. The average person is a complete idiot, so bookies sitll profit with the juice. Just read comments online and you should be able to come to this conclusion
This is such garbage. This women is a gambling addict,and now she's looking for excuses and someone or something to blame besides herself for her losses. Just like all the other gamblers I know. And I know a lot. Sorry lady but this is hogwash. You messed up now you have to face the consequences. I have been on prescription drugs my whole life and ability being one of them. Before I was on drugs I liked gambling,and when I was on abilify I actually didn't gamble at all. This is a joke.
Try taking the meds and see
Nice excuse for not seeking help earlier... We all have our reasons why we have compulsive gambling problems but blaming a drug seems far fetched
So in other words, she's bipolar being treated with abilify. Great, so she's not gambling anymore, but she's still crazy.
Narcissism is also a disorder, maybe you should go get that checked.
as a person with bipolar who is also taking abilify, fuck you
Ability is NOT for bipolar disorder...it's for depression
@@Cadbil Great answer! What a bad person😞
@@chalvipigfiona874 I was prescribed abilify for autism as a kid, and the doctor that prescribed me it is dead.
