hi-- i tried abilify about a year ago for about two weeks. i started at 10mg and stayed there. maybe it was too high a dose at first. a lot of people say it's activating, but for me at first, it put me to sleep. i took it in the morning and napped on and off during the days. after awhile, the sedation went away, and i think it became more activating. one pdoc suspected that abilify + zoloft could be too much serotonin for me. i would have been willing to try abilify for longer, but i started having hallucinations, and my pdoc put me on trilafon, an old AP. the hallucinations turned out to be from ambien, so the problem went away without need of an AP. i don't know about social anxiety and abilify. i took it mainly as a mood stabilizer.
