Hi Laura
Read your post and I am sorry that Abilify did not work for you. My daughter has been on it now for 2 months and we do see some slight improvement. However she too also experiences exactly what you had stated and irritation and that.What I though of doing is having her psdoc perhaps add a low dose of risperdal along with the Abilify. She was on risperdal at first. It did nothing for her schizo symptons but she didn't have the irritation and restlessness like she is having now.
Meds work differently for each individual and maybe the abilify just isn't the med for you. I do wish you the best. Take care.
