My husband has been taking Abilify for 3 weeks now and has the same restlessness-- his Dr. prescribed Lorazipam (Ativan) to take at bedtime which seems to be working perfectly. He can take up to 3 a day, in quarters or halves depending on the situation (feeling jumpy or nervous) and he takes one or two of those three before bedtime and is asleep within a half an hour. Hope that helps.
> I've had a very hard time staying asleep. I wake up sometimes at three or four, no matter when I've gone to bed, and I feel like I have to go running or something like that to calm the physical anxiety and sleeplessness. I've been on abilify for a little over four weeks now. There is really no information out there except for PR from the pharmaceutical companies. Does anyone have any other research or medical journals to recommend?
