Abilify is new and novel, but its still a neuroleptic..for me, once the dosage hit 10mgs, I felt "tired" in a sort of apathetic, listless way; I think its because Abilify, even w/ its partial dopamine agonism, still deprived me of my natural dopamine (which I now realize I *NEED*--all of it). So maybe thats the problem.

It seems like a lot of docs are giving out Provigil and low-doses of other stims to help out w/ neuroleptic-induced tiredness. Maybe that's an option? Maybe a stimulating antidepressant, like Wellbutrin?

Good luck.
