I didn't have any probs w/ restlessness etc. I'm on 20mg now, but I'm hoping to go lower b/c I'm doing better and 20 is still high.
best,
EE> > I can relate to your post--I've tried tons of meds, many of the ones you are on. I just wanted to post to say that Abilify has been my wonder drug. I did have to take a higher dose (was up to 30 mg at one point). I also do take it w/ Lithium. But it WORKS. I hope it works for you too.
