I've been on Abilify for about a month now, and I do notice some mild anxiety, but I started out with severe anxiety before taking it, so this is a big improvement. I did notice heart palpitations (which is not uncommon for me because of my digestive issues, but they got pretty bad on Abilify), so my GP put me on a beta blocker. Man, do I feel better! Maybe a beta blocker would help you too, especially if the issue is racing heart with anxiety? I know it sucks having to take another medication due to side-effects, but it's totally worth it for me. The Abilify is working great for me otherwise.
