Abilify created awful akathisia for me but it was the only medication I had taken in several years which dealt with my Bipolar II so I continued but added antianxiety meds and then stiimulants to the cocktail to deal with the jitteriness and lack of focus. I take 2.5mg because anything higher than that makes me nutty and it has been about 4 years now and the akathisia just sort of faded away and all has been stable for quite some time. I know there are those who say higher doses are wonderful, but for me just getting to them was hellacious, I am extremely dose sensitive.
