      OK I had to go down on my Abilify because of this symptom it just got worse I completely understand what you’re saying with this. There is a medical term for it and apparently it is very common with Abilify so if it’s still bothering you I suggest talking to your doctor and adjusting meds

      Restlessness is a really common side effect of this medication. I had it for about a week when I started it but then it went away. I take 5mg

      I had restlessness for quite some time when I started abilify, but after a while it died down some. I still get it every now and then, but it's not horrible anymore. How long have you been taking it?

      I just started ability (again) and actually have been feeling similarly to this! I chalked it up to a hypo manic state, but you’ve made me curious as to if it could be because of the ability. I don’t seem to mind however because it is a welcome change for me, since I’m usually very unproductive with depression

      To me that's anxiety. I'm upping my meds till I feel a noticably difference. I know meds won't make everything go away, but it should make it livable
