I started Abilify about 5 days ago. I started at 10 mg and am now at 20 mg. Here is a list of side effects I'm getting:
1. Tremor; severe.
2. Increased Libido (to almost uncomfortable levels).
3. Somnolence.
4. Strange Feelings.
5. Akathisia.I was able to treat the tremor and akathisia with propanalol and artane.
I have no idea what to do with my new sex drive.
Does Abilify interfere with sleep?
The strange feelings I'm having are depersonalisation and derealization. Could this go away in time?
Akathisia or Mania? I am bipolar(I have ocd and adhd as well) and am being treated with Anafranil. Could The Abilify be combining with the Anafranil to cause mania? (I had racing thoughts was a little pressured and very edgy when I went up to 15 mg. At 20 mg I lost the edge.
Anybod here been on Abilify long term?
