Hello. I just started abilify about two weeks ago. What I've noticed so far is that it doesn't completely sedate me while sleeping, it does have me a little drowsy during the day, it seems to have calmed my intolerance and temper, and it seems to be controlling hallucinations so far. Too early to tell if I like it or if there will be bad side effects. But that's my two cents for now.

I don't intend to ever stop taking medication so I'm not sure I will know what it is like after taking it. Unless you mean after switching meds. I'm curious to hear from others considering this is a new med for me. Thanks for posting.
