My Pdoc recently put me on low dose Abilify to counteract the "blahs" I get from the Viibryd (i.e. perfectly content to watch TV all day and not feel guilty about it, staring off into space, etc.) . He said Abilify is activating but I'm having the opposite reaction; I would be perfectly happy to sleep all day after I take Abilify in the morning.

Does the Abilify drowsiness go away after a few weeks or is it here to stay? I really need to get things done right now for school in the fall and I don't see how I'm going to be able to since Abilify makes me want to curl up with a blankie and hibernate. Help!

I had the same problem with abilify. It made me unmotivated--I did not have the energy to do anything and did not really care. It seemed to turn my world grey. Everything was just blah and I did not even want to talk to people--I was really disconnected with reality and people. I think meds work differently for different people--talk with your pdoc about it.....maybe he/she can find a better med combo for you--I did......D.
