I was just put on abilify 5mg for a week and then 10mg for bipolar. does it make you tired? best to take day or night? I was also put on .5 mg klonopin for pain that I am supposed to take at night!!!

I take 30 mg of Abilify in the morning, but it doesn't make me tired.

I take it at night and no it doesn't make me tired either. I just got in the habit of taking my meds at night because the previous ones were supposed to help me sleep.

Hi, I had posted on another thread about Abilify so was glad to see this one. I wanted to hear other's experience. Did it help you? I'm thinking of trying to convince the pdoc when I see them in a couple weeks to let me try it. None of the SSRIs I've been on the past 6 mos. (now 6 weeks of Prozac) have led to my feeling any different.

Is it very expensive? I have no insurance or income.

Thank you!

the manufacturer of Abilify has a cost savings program you can get it at a discounted rate, it may be worth looking into

Great idea, ajonesiii. Abilify is, by far, the best AP/AD IU've taken. It would be a shame if cost kept you from gaining access to it. Here's the program ajonesii was referring to:
