I have been on Abilify for about a month and get weak when I stand. I often have to sit back down for a few moments. I fell down once in a cafe. Abilify is really working for me so I want to learn to deal with this side effect.
Anyone else get this from their meds and know any methods for dealing with it? TIA. |

I've had it happen to me before. The first thing that doctors usually recommend is standing/sitting up slowly (any position change, really) if you know you're going to get lightheaded. If that doesn't work, let your doctor know. Maybe he/she can adjust the timing or space the dosing out to cut down on side effects.
