I've been taking 2mg of Abilify for a few weeks. I take it at night because it makes me drowsy.
Since day one, I've had horrible acid reflux. I've taken all sorts of OTC meds, but it always returns.

I have a doctor's appointment in a couple of weeks and I plan on mentioning it. But I was just wondering if any other Abilify users have experienced it, and if so, what did you do about it?

I took Abilify for a short time. I didn't have the problem you describe. I got off it because it made everything I ate taste sort-of metallic.
Thanks for this!

Maybe there is some sort of digestive connection. Thanks.

I don't have that problem with 2 mg of abilify but I take a proton pump inhibitor (dexilant) for gerd. My problem is that abilify speeds me up a bit. I don't get drowsy with it. My pdoc said to take it at night so I might have to ask if I can try it mid day.

Take care
Thanks for this!

Call your doctors office and tell them your problem and you should get a call back from one of the nurse's at the office .
They should call you back soon after or the next day and tell you what your doctor suggest you to do .
I had to do that when I got a rash on my face from my meds.
Thanks for this!
