I never thought of it as I side effect of medicine to be bored and restless. I suffer the same thing and it does get so bad that I have to take a klonpin at times to. Although I do not take abilify, but I am on two different anti-depressants. I get to where I feel like I have to be doing something, but nothing appeals to me. So I'm not sure if this is normal or a side effect or just possibly being bipolar.
