I was expecting the opposite effect, since my pdoc said Abilify was activating, but since I started on it, I've felt constant fatigue. There have been 3 changes that could be causing it:

1) I wasn't handling lithium well, there's a problem with my kidneys, but that's getting better.

2) I've been tapering off of lithium for about 3 weeks, but I've tapered off lithium before without this reaction.

3) I've been tapering on Abilify for about 3 weeks.

I am constantly tired. I go to bed at 9 PM. If I take the abilify later in the day I can stay up later. If I take it at 5 I'm in bed by 9. If I take it at 8 I'm in bed by 11.

Does anyone else experience anything like this?

Buried deep within there's a human
And despite everything I'm still human
I think that I'm still human
