I have been on just about every dose of Abilify there is. I am one of the lucky ones that it worked right away..like I am talking less than 24hrs. I was in a hospital setting and I was put on 15 the first day. I am a bipolar rapid cycler and I was very manic at the time. Then outpatient we increased to 30 but I got akathisia so we cut it to 22.5 then back down to 15. I still have the side effects but I am on Cogentin now and that controls it. I am a psych RN and my p-doc and the ones I work with usually abandon it within a week if they don't see improvement. My experience at work is that it is a wonder drug, or a sugar pill..no mediocre responses. Maybe it is time to move on. leslie
