When I started Abilify a few years ago I felt dizzy and "stoned" for a while. (I also experienced the dreaded akathisia, or restlessness.)

Wondering if anyone else has felt sedated on Abilify.

Frankly, been on the stuff so long that it's hard to tell what it is doing.

Fatigue is an ongoing problem for me. I am going to work with my psychiatrist on narrowing down which drugs are making it worse. I would be happy if we found Abilify could go, as it is EXPENSIVE. But we will see.

I know people who take Abilify at bedtime so that it can help them sleep. I think that it is most commonly taken at bedtime, with the idea that most of the side effects will wear off by the time you get up.
