I just started Abilify as well and whie I think it is lifting me out of the abyss, taking it at night is giving me terrible insomnia.
But Girl, it may be worth a shot for you at a lower starting dose. My sister has been taking it for years and goes up or down in dosage depending on how well/poorly she is feeling.
I had the teeth/jaw thing too...I think that is the serotonergic action. I got a night guard. You can "make one" from a kit they sell at pharmacies. It aint pretty, but it eases the grinding.
I do wish you well, and hope that if Abilify is not for you that you find a med that is. Not sleeping simp;y sucks!
I think that based on this thread I will start taking it in the am and see if it helps. Probably I will fall asleep at my lousy temp job!!!
