My brother was on Abilify for a 6-week trial, and he had trouble falling asleep also. He would stay up very late and get maybe 3 hours of sleep a night. He is back on Abilify, as of yesterday, and we're again experiencing the same problems. His sleep has been fine on all his other medications: including Risperadone and Olanzapine.
I was thinking yesterday that maybe Abilify has something that keeps you awake? Should he not be taking it at night? Does anyone know anything about taking Abilify at night? Please help.
> I've had a very hard time staying asleep. I wake up sometimes at three or four, no matter when I've gone to bed, and I feel like I have to go running or something like that to calm the physical anxiety and sleeplessness. I've been on abilify for a little over four weeks now. There is really no information out there except for PR from the pharmaceutical companies. Does anyone have any other research or medical journals to recommend?
