Today I started taking 2 mg of Abilify, and maybe that's too much to start with? I spent much of the day feeling cranky and anxious, which is unusual because I'm on Klonopin and Prozac: both generally help me to feel significantly LESS cranky and anxious.

I don't want to give up on the Abilify, but I also don't want to have another day like today. Has Abilify made anyone else cranky, and does that go away after after a few weeks?

Any thoughts/advice are much appreciated.

I took it 2 years ago and I don't remember how much I was on. I was only on it for 3 months because I experienced a severe depression all over again about 2 months into taking it.

The main things I experienced with Abilify were:
1. Bad nausea and loss of appetite for about 2 weeks while starting and withdrawing from the medication
2. Hypomanic state where I just felt like a million dollars
3. Crash into a bad depression about 10 weeks after starting the med.
