I've been on Abilify for about 6 yrs. for bipolar 1. I have found it incredibly helpful for getting rid of delusional thinking & returning me to being a productive member of sociey. I take 20 mg, but recently had a manic episode when it was increased to 25 mg for a week & that brought me down so I'm back on 20. I don't know if I'd stay on it with all those side effects, but maybe they will dissipate with time. Talk to your doc, for sure.--Suzy P.S. I have a friend of Abilify for schizophrenia & he is doing well, except for sleeping 12 hrs. a day. I take stimulants to combat that.
