I almost lost my mind with anxiety on Abilify. Man! I was running around screaming and pulling my hair. Literally. I was invisioning all kinds of horrible disasters. I couldn't sit still.

But I'm still taking 5 mg. How? Two things to try. Propranolol(Inderal) is a beta-blocker that sometimes helps with the physical symptoms of anxiety. A low dose may help.

The way I cope with it is that I take Seroquel, another atypical anti-psychotic. Seroquel has high anti-anxiety effects. It allows me to be able to take the stupid Abilify. Plus it's not addicting like benzos.

Why are you taking Abilify? Is it for hallucinations? I have found it to be very effective for that. Or are you using it for something else? I would recomend seeing your pdoc ASAP so that your symptoms can be relieved. Don't be like me, you don't have to put up with this. If the two things I suggested don't work out, I'm sure you and your pdoc can come up with something.

Goodluck!
