Hello all,

Tomorrow I will be starting Abilify, 5mg to begin. My doctor REALLY likes this medication, thinks it's great. We just didn't start it before because it's an expensive medication, but we have covered how I will get enough of the medication, so it's OK. I am wondering if anyone has had any experience with this medication. I guess what I am wondering is...

- What dose were/are you on?

- What side effects did you experience?

- Did you find the medication to be a positive experience, or a negative one?

I am aware that it can cause muscle twitching, so I'm also wondering if anyone has had this. This is a concern with me because I already have muscle twitching due to taking 500mg per day of Seroquel, and I know the twitching isn't going to go away while I'm on it. However, the twitching doesn't happen so often that it's unbearable.

Thanks for your input!
