Hey 5f,
Just a suggestion, but 5 mg is a low dose... have you thought of increasing to 7.5 or 10? Also, are you taking anything else that might affect its boioavailability? For example, I'm on Tegretol, which accelerates Abilify metabolization, so my 10 mg is really only like 5. I love this stuff, cant say enough about it. It was really rough to get it right in the beginning, made me crazy as hell, but when I worked it up slowly to the appropriate dose, it has changed my life. I'm afraid so many people toss it at first sign of SE, when perhaps it coulda been tweaked or something. Just my experience of course, but I'm a 25 year hard case and it is the first drug to even begin to gove me my life back; and i believe you and i have similar issues. I'd suggest playing with the dose a lil before you give up on it.
Good luck!
Suzie
