Hello there!

The Abilify is most likely causing your restlessness and tremors. 10mg is pretty high being that you can start out on 2mg - then 5mg - 10mg - 15mg -30mg. The higher the dose the more side effects with Abilify I've found.

Either you can discuss with your doctor reducing your Abilify or ask him/her about adding Cogentin. Cogentin helps with the restlessness and tremors.

Hope this helps!
Jerry
