What Bleauberry says is true. The main problem with Abilify is that it can produce anxiety, restlessness, and insomnia, although I experienced only some mild restlessness. I started off at 20mg.
To get past these things, you might want to take some Seroquel - maybe 25mg two or three times a day. Or perhaps even using Zyprexa to start with, and then cross-titrate.
I like how Med_Empowered qualified the atypicals. They all are very different. The two that are most alike are Zyprexa and Clozaril.
