I'm on 20 mg of abilify. I have to take cogentin with my abilify because at first I was so agitated and couldn't sit or do anything but pace. It made me so anxious that my t thought I was on the edge of an anxiety attack. My anxiety skyrocketed, needless to say.

The cogentin counteracts the anxiety and agitation for me.

If you are having these symptoms call your pdoc immediately and tell him about your symptoms.

Hi. I am taking Abilify each morning. I take the 5mg. tabs. Speaking for myself..the only side effect I have is with my blood pressure. It gets unusually higher in the morning. Then as the day progresses..it comes down gradually. It helps me.... as I experience auditory hallucinations. They are less frequent as long as I am on the medication.

Take good care.

I take Abilify, but don't really tell a big difference. Maybe it's because it's actually working... I don't feel quite so depressed or anxious anymore.

I t ake 10 mg of abilify every night. I really haven't had any side effects from it. Abilify works well for me for mood stabilization and mania.

I have been taking Abilify for about a year, and haven't noticed any side effects. My pdoc recently cut the dosage from 30 mg to 15 mg and I notice that I am more emotional on the lower dosage.
