My pdoc upped my abilify to 15 mg to counteract my depression and hallucinations. So far, the higher dose has been working well, but I've been experiencing some side effects. At this dose, I find the abilify very sedating. It is a struggle just to stay awake as I type this, and I need to study for and do well on four exams in the up-coming week! I don't know how I am going to do it.

I already started taking it at night, but I still feel very fatigued during the day. Does anyone have any suggestions? How do you deal with being on sedating meds? More coffee? Thanks.
