Two doses of Abilify completely stopped some mild restless legs symptoms I was having (I also mentioned this somewhere in the other thread). Otoh, restless legs are listed as a possible side effect of Abilify. But you might get lucky in the RLS department.

>Emme,
That's great to know. When I read about people experiencing akathisia, I just kind of figured restless legs was what they were talking about. Some people mentioned akathisia and I figured that's kind of a total body restless legs feeling. And agitation, I'm not sure if that means anxiety or not. When I'm anxious I feel agitated but I can imagine being agitated with feeling scared.
Anyway, thanks. And thanks for all the information in your other posts.
