Hi,
I am on Abilify 10 mg. I had an episode in April 2015. The pdoc said she would reduce the meds to 7 mg. I feel over-sedated on 10 mg. I work and take care of my kid. So, it is rather tough to balance everything.

Is anyone else on Abilify? How much do you take? Are you on a maintenance dosage?

I take Abilify - 15mgs. It works well for me. I take it in the evening so if it has any sedating effect, I don't notice it particularly.

I was on 10 mg for over a year, and very recently increased to 15 mg at my request. It's slightly sedating but also makes me restless. I take it at noon everyday.
