my doctor lowered my abilify from 20 to 15, and the tremor in my right hand is all but gone. i was also prescribed cogentin, but...i never took it, i don't like the way anticholinergics make me feel. blah.

not to scare you, but my psych told me that having tremors and such indicates a higher likelihood of eventually developing TD than if one can take a given tranquilizer without tremors or other EPS. TD is also more likely with higher doses, even with the atypicals. after the dosage was lowered, i consulted The Google, and found out that Abilify is well studied...at 10-15 mgs/day. beyond that, the data gets weak. true story.
