Last night was my first time taking Abilify and it was just the 2mg. I'd read the side effects and was really hesitant. First thing I noticed is my skin felt itchy. It's better now but still there to an extent. I also feel like I have constant indigestion and feel burpy/barfy all the time. I am agitated, tired and feel weird.

I was put on it because I tend to self-harm in arguments with my husband. He called the police last Monday when I hit myself with a blunt glass object, something I've never done before. I was humiliated that the police came. The officer I spoke with sized up the situation and suggested I stop letting my husband control me and do what is best for me (my husband wanted me to go off the Zoloft I went on so I could deal with him better, he didn't like the side effects). So, hopefully Abilify will help me to be more motivated and focused so I can covertly plan my escape.

Can those that have been on Abilify tell me how long the side effects lasted and did you ever get to the point where you experienced little or no side effects?
