I’ve been on Abilify for two weeks now, I’ve just upped it from 5mg to 10mg, and I’m not sure I’m comfortable with it’s effects. 

Episodes and introusive thoughts are definitely more under control, but the price for it is that I’m so restless it’s starting to terrifying me. I can’t sleep at night — I wake up at like 3am and there’s no way I can go back to sleep, I HAVE to get up and do stuff. I clean the whole house daily by 8am, and I’m still left uncomfortable and unsatisfied. Oh, and also, the tremors. I can barely use my hands, typing is a real struggle. 

I’ve also got prescribed Valium and Zopiclone, but I’ve currently ran out and I’m not gonna see my doctor before next week. As the title says, anyone else on Abilify that can give me some advices / reassure me it’s gonna get better? I’ve been on Seroquel before, and it made me so sedated I was literally letargic — plus, it was making me put on a lot of weight, that’s why I switched to Abilify.
