Thanks for the responses. I've tried exercise and progressive relaxation; they do help a bit. Trying to immerse myself in what is going on helps too, but I can't always achieve that.

I suppose that it could be the abilify. I hope that it's not, though, because my pdoc said we'd have to lower the dose if I developed akathisia. I feel "unstable" (though better than I was) at the dose that I'm on, so I don't think that going any lower would be a good idea.
