I don't know if this is any help because I had an unusual reaction to ability, I always get the rare side effects lol, I was also extremely situationally depressed on top of my normal issues at the time.

I did not get out of bed for a couple weeks, until they too me off of it. I got horrible RLS, that eventually turned into my whole lower body being cramped up from all the twisting and shaking of my legs. I get RLS from a lot of meds though, even what I am on now I will occasionally have a night I need to take an extra klonopin at night so it calms me down.

I have been on damn near everythin that didn't just come out, I take Latuda which is a pretty new med. Abilify was probably one of the worst three-ish weeks of being on a medication other than the time I got severe Steven Johnson's from depakote, but that is a whole different type of bad.

When I did get out of bed I would soak in a hot bath in hopes of relaxing the muscles but it never really worked. All that being said when they switched me to Effexor it was great, I didn't want to take it because all the withdrawal issues but I have been on if for a few years now and it helps greatly.

Basically what I am saying is if it is not working like it is supposed to after you have given it an honest try don't waste your time suffering. Call your doc, move up your appointment, and tell them exactly what is going on and that you are not happy with it.
