Valcat, it's good to hear you are feeling better. I take abilify and noticed the same improvement of concentration at work. I'm also reducing my effexor xr. Abilify is associated with weight loss as well as weight gain. Just watch your portion sizes and snacks! The only side effect I've had (with 30mgs) is difficulty sleeping. Be patient and let the adjustments work themselves out. You might notice more improvement from the abilfy over time. Good luck!
