Hi Lamdage22,
It's good to hear that your akathisia seems to have subsided, and I hope that that side effect will continue not to be problematic for you. If you do end up switching to an antipsychotic other than Abilify (although I'm thinking that you'll probably want to keep sticking with the Abilify at least for now, since you're not experiencing the akathisia), then maybe it might make sense to ask your doctor about a medication with NRI properties (such as an SNRI) to combat the tiredness that may come about from taking a different antipsychotic. I just think that that might make sense, given the fact that you've had some success with medications with NRI properties in the past, but I hope that the Abilify will end up working out for you so you won't even need to go that route.
Again, good luck to you!
T.
