Abilify made me very zombie like, gained 15lbs in two weeks on a very vey low cal diet. All antipsychotics are classed as major tranquilizers so it is not too suprizing if you feel sedated or sluggish considering that. That wears off for some people over time as they build tolerance, and for others like myself it does not, and others don't experience this. It did little to nothing for my psychosis or mania on a high dose, just made me feel like a wild horse being tied down. Just goes to show how differently they affect people. I also had really bad akathisia on it, as well as very low blood pressue and body temperature regulation problems, all common side effects of AP's. I have tried abilify a few times and it was always the same for me.
