I tried abilify earlier as i was looking for another med to replce olanzapine. seroquel is something i am always on, but it doesn't have strong effect on me with psychosis and stuff. I didn't like abilify is because it's rather mild and caused me to be anxious / irritable. so i stopped and tried some other med which was worse and caused stiffness. but abilify doesn't have the weight gain effect which was why my pdoc thought it's good to try. you can try to see i guess
