My husband is taking 15 mg of Abilify and has experienced similar tremor problems at night. I perceive them as similar to seizures involving his entire body. He doesn't waken during the episode and has no memory of it in the a.m.
He seems very groggy the next day. Like you, I recognize the positive results from Abilify but feel grave concern for this side effect.
> My wife has been taking abilify for 5 weeks, she started at 15mg, reduced to 10 mg and currently at7.5 mg.

> The main side effects are restlessness (akasthasia), shaking/tremors/movement of hands in sleep and blurred vision.

> The doc has added cogenitin to suppress the side effects and that helps with the restlessness but the other side effects remain.

> Has anyone experienced the shaking/movements/tremors in sleep??

> I think Abilify helped her on lot of positive/negative symptoms, ability to think logically, clearly, participate in conversations etc.

> Let me know If anyone needs additional info.
