Lorazepam is not the standard of care to counteract the terrible restlessness caused by Abilify. There are a number of other medications available... I believe that Cogentin, Propranolol, and something else - at least three different options.
Restlessness occurs in 25% of patients taking Abilify so you are not in any way
hypersensitive - it is the most typical reaction to Abilify.
