With Abilify, expect some startup anxiety and insomnia. This doesn't happen with everyone, but know that it often disappears quickly. For me, these things resolved within a week. My treatment was initiated at 20.0 mg/day. True akathisia is also a possible reaction to Abilify. Try not to assume that startup anxiety and restlessness will evolve into full-blown akathisia.
Akathisia is characterized by:
distressing feeling of inner restlessness
subjective experience of "crawling out of one's skin"
inability to remain still
psychomotor agitation
fidgeting
rocking
pacing
shifting positions
shifting weight from foot to foot while standing
crossing and uncrossing legs
