seroquel caused parkinson's like syndrome in my dad, so I have refused to take it an am on abilify. a month or so on it so far, and it is OK. side effects like nasty waves of vertigo, some nausea, restlessness, waking up at 4 every morning, then dragging by noon, tongue feels too big for my mouth.....but no weight gain. manageable side effects, but I probably need a higher dose because the mania still breaks through a lot....then I am worried about the side effects increasing....
