I feel better than I have in a long time -
 - but VERY restless. I think its the Abilify. I feel like crawling out of my skin... And I don't know how long it'll be before I can see a psychiatrist about it  I feel like running... but I know I won't appreciate it if I actually do. I don't run... my lungs don't like it. Blah. So tempted to try halving the pills like when I started on it, but know better than to do something on my own.

Sounds like what you might be experiencing is akathisia. It's a side effect from Abilify and similar medications. There are ways to help with this problem. The doc could prescribe counteracting medications, such as Cogentin or Artane, lower the dose of the Abilify, or switch you to another medication that may not cause this side effect.
I wish you luck with your treatment, Andy |
