In reply to Abilify and insomnia, posted by lapdog on April 8, 2003, at 23:53:03
My daughter who is 30 years old has been on Abilify now for 4 months. We did notice when she first started it (10mgs) she was having a very bad problem regarding sleep. It's like she would fall asleep but than wake up very early. She is now on 15mgs. and we have noticed that she is able to sleep through the night and is not waking up early early in the morning.
I suppose it takes time for the med to adjust to the individual. Each individual is different so the med is going to react differently for each person.
Have researched a lot on Abilify and do know that it is unfortunately one of the side effects. Perhaps your son's psdoc could prescribe something for sleep.
