id do abilify AM. Abilify can cause pretty intense akathisia...so can ssris. Withdrawal from sedating antipsychotics can cause a similar set of symptoms; I think its not an either/or situation so much as an overlap of unfortunate events in your brain. Can you up the Klonopin, or take some propranolol? Also..Abilify is intensely high potency. Even at 10-15mgs, over 80% D2 occupancy is going on. I imagine at 5mgs its still intense, especially since some of your other meds may be slowing the clearance of aripiprazole (SRIs tend to). So...you may be having problems b/c of increased neuroleptic load, too.

Good luck.
