I've also heard that this medication can cause the brain to shrink. Does anyone have any links to studies or reports about this? I'm curious as to whether or not the headaches could be caused by this phenomenon.

Abilify to me is a designer med that has special appeal to people looking for a med with no side effects. I think this to be honest , is good marketing on behalf of the organisation that produce it. The truth is it is generally a poorly tolerated med with medium to low efficacy when compared to its counterparts. If you doubt it look to patient and drug forums who allow ratings , there are also many comparative studies on the subject.
