Hi.
> Are you still on the Abilify?
Yes. I've been taking it for about 2 years. I take it to help deal with bipolar depression. I noticed that it gave me a bit more mental energy and motivation. It also helps to prevent me from entering anxious suicidal states and curbs feelings of doom.
> What did you take to help you sleep while you were adjusting to it?
I didn't have very much insomnia with it, so I didn't take anything for sleep. I did experience akathisia-like side effects that included feelings of inner restlessness and some anxiety.
You might want to make a list of questions to ask your doctor and bring it with you. That way, you won't forget to tell him about your side effects. I have a list ready at each of my visits.
Good luck.
