I got off of risperidone for this reason. When I was tapering off my drive returned, but after taking abilify it's gone again. I'm also cranky. If all medications have this side effect then I don't want medication at all. My next psychiatrist appointment isn't until mid April. I don't know why my psychiatrist put me on this medication if this is a side effect! That's the whole reason I got off of risperidone in the first place. I'm just really tired of trying new meds and having them barely work while giving me horrible side effects. It's starting to feel not worth it to me.
