Yeah me too. I started on 1mg abilify/aripiprazole originally and titrated all the way up to 15mg at one point, though it took a long time. This time I went in straight at 10mg to avoid the agitation. The side effects eg postural hypotension are easing off now as this is my 3rd week, and I totally avoided the agitation this time.

That sounds great! I never had that effect, just increased anxiety & insomnia at low doses. Has the agitation eased off now?
