A 50-year-old female patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE; Lot number and expiration date were not reported), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Left on 25Feb2021 13:20 (at the age of 50-years-old) at dose 1, single for covid-19 immunization. She had been on the lowest amount of thyroid medicine for about 25 years. Patient said that she was in the hospital for anxiety 10 months ago. Prior Vaccinations (within 4 weeks) was none. She said while she was in the hospital, she was mistakenly given an injection of Abilify 400mg. She said Abilify was a very strong anti-psychotic that has a long half-life of 46 days and had to go to 7-8 half-life cycles for the Abilify to leave her body and was down to what she calculated to be about 7.5mg of Abilify in her body. Finally she had started to get relief from the Abilify side effects and one of the Abilify side effects was that she had gained 60 pounds (lbs), she felt she was in a chemical straight jacket, the muscles in her legs were stiff like someone with Parkinson's, and her mobility was restricted. Her Abilify side effects were all starting to lift. Ever since she received her first COVID-19 Vaccine, her Abilify side effects were back in full force. She said it was like the COVID-19 Vaccine had increased the Abilify medication in her system, or the COVID-19 Vaccine was keeping her from metabolizing the Abilify that was left in her body. She had a minor rash develop on her hand, and her eyes burned, and turned bright red. She said her eyes were bloodshot. She said she went to the Emergency Room that night (25Feb2021) and was given 2 Benadryl 50mg tablets. She said her rash, burning and blood shot eyes went away the next day (26Feb2021). She did not have the Benadryl 50mg NDC, Lot, and Expiration Date. She had insomnia for a few days after COVID-19 Vaccine, and was constipated in Feb2021. She said the insomnia and constipation had resolved and was back to normal. It was like her body was in chaos after COVID-19 Vaccine. She thinks the COVID-19 Vaccine reacted to the Abilify that was still in her system. Reported she was given the Abilify 400mg injection on 13May2020 at the hospital and she didn't have the Abilify NDC, Lot, and Expiration Date. She did have paperwork from her hospitalization in May2020, but she wasn't at home while she was speaking with the Pfizer DSU agent. Her Abilify side effects were feeling foggy, or her consciousness was affected. She said it was hard for her describe her side effects. She didn't realize she was even foggy until the fogginess started lifting. She thought she was normal, until the fogginess started lifting. Once she got the COVID-19 Vaccine, it was like a curtain went down on her. She had muscle stiffness that came back in her ankles, feet, and legs. She shuffled like she had Parkinson's. She said her mobility was very limited, especially in the morning. She had seen a reverse in her weight loss. She was losing weight and started to feel the weight loss was something she was going to be able to do. She felt heavier since she received her COVID-19 Vaccine. she felt she gained a little bit of weight back, had nerve issues with her hands and feet, her hands and feet were numb and painful. She was wondering if the numbness and pain was ever going to go away in her hands. Her hands were feeling normal and was so happy but after COVID-19 Vaccine, her hands went right back to being numb and painful, like she was injected with the Abilify all over again. She said the numb, painful feeling alternates between numbness and pain. she suffered silently every day of her life and this had been the longest year of her life, and if she had only waited until Jun2021, the Abilify would have been out of her system. She said most people she knows breezed through their first COVID-19 Vaccine shot. She was told by her doctor and pharmacists that it was more important for her to be vaccinated with the COVID-19 Vaccine, and there was nothing for her to worry about. She said the COVID-19 Vaccine certainly had an effect on the Abilify still in her system. She said to think she might have to go through another year of Hell. Reported she was given 2 Benadryl 50mg tablets in the Emergency Room. She said she did not have the Benadryl 50mg NDC, Lot, and Expiration Date She said her doctor and several pharmacists told her it was safe for her to get the COVID-19 Vaccine, and the COVID-19 Vaccine would have no effect on the Abilify left in her system and now the pharmacists were stating that everyone was different and they were not sure, or had no idea, how the COVID-19 Vaccine would affect her. She said she had been patiently waiting for 10 months to get rid of the Abilify in her system, and now the COVID-19 Vaccine was hindering her progress. She said she had 1-2 days of relief from her Abilify side effects, and then it was time for her to get her COVID-19 Vaccine. She said after she got the COVID-19 Vaccine, her relief from her Abilify side effects was yanked away, and all the Abilify side effects were back. She said she also had some new side effects that she understands are known Abilify side effects. Further reported her doctor knows what had happened to her after she received the Abilify 400mg injection. She said her doctor had been monitoring her at least once a month for months. She reported her Abilify side effects to the manufacturer of Abilify months ago. She said she spoke to a pharmacist at the manufacturer, and the pharmacist was unable to tell her anything. She said she could tell the pharmacist was looking up the information on a computer while she was talking to the pharmacist. Reported she was told that the COVID-19 Vaccine should not have any kind of effect on her Abilify side effects. She said she only knows how she feels physically now.  Reported she had no major side effects from the COVID-19 Vaccine, only that she noticed the relief from her Abilify side effects started to wear off. She said her relief from the Abilify side effects had been ripped away from her, and all her Abilify side effects were coming back. She said she wished she would have waited until the summer of 2021 to get her COVID-19 Vaccine. Stated she has been having side effects that she has heard of people having after they have been on Abilify for years and years since she had the vaccine. She said it was horrible, she has been drooling and having to wipe her mouth all of the time. Stated she has been having this since she got the Covid vaccine and it feels to her like it increased the Abilify tenfold. Caller stated that she just wants to die. No one can help her. She just wants to talk to someone at Pfizer who knows something about the drug, not some operator. States that she has weight gain, muscle aches, drooling, and her lip is perspiring all the time. States it's just like the symptoms she has read about people who have been on Abilify for years and years. Says she has ruined her life. She can't sleep, she can't do anything. Her muscles ache and are stiff. Seemed like it was amplified after she got the vaccine. The fogginess has come back. She has muscle stiffness like in Parkinsons in her ankles and feet and legs and has to shuffle when she walks so her mobility is limited. She has gained 60 pounds (after the Abilify injection) and thought she was losing that weight, now she's heavier since she got the covid vaccine. She has numbness - nerve pain, numb painful feeling in her hands and feet. Caller stated, it has been amplified what she experienced 10 months prior. It was horrific, terrible side effects and she was waiting for the drug to leave her bod. She was in so much pain. The weight gain is relentless. The vaccine re-energized all of the side effects, side effects she was having for a year and it was lessening and since she got the vaccine it was all back. She stated that her quality of her life has gone down. it's almost unbearable. She was so frustrated. They said it was completely safe and it was harmless. She could barely walk because it was so stiff. But the covid vaccine increased the left over Abilify's side effects. They kept saying the vaccine isn't a drug. It interacted with something that was in her body already. She felt so hopeless right now. Patient was so terrified. Patient was  drooling on the side of mouth (produce too much saliva) and at the corners of her mouth there was drool and she need to keep on swallowing and it was a new symptom she was experiencing. She was back to having insomnia, like when she first had with Abilify. she was getting relief from the weight gain, muscle aches, and just horrible effects. Patient was so tired too.
