I'm trying to take abilify too. I started/ing/again on 2.5 mg. I take zyprexa with it, which helps calm. I'm taking 5-7.5 zyprexa. I started the abilify for a few days or couple weeks then had to stop, a few times. You feel great at first for the first 5 days or so then, well I would stop and try a different dose. My new plan is to take it untill all that gets bad, stop for a day or two, then you get tired, and start up again. I hope I will eventualy get used to the stuff. I works great if you can stand it. I take it for psychosis. My best advice is to try a lower dose. Try going back to 5 mg for much longer of a time, weeks, months. Then (which I have never made it to) raise the dose? Thats my hopfull plan, I think. Taking zyprexa might help you. Eventualy I hope to take 5 mg of both.

Is the seroquel only at night for sleep? I took 15 mg abilify for a while, I also had akastisia. I also couldn't sleep, but wasn't taking zyprexa.
I'm starting to belive that over stimulation is not good. I'm trying to cut out the wellbutrin, since Abilify is stimulating. The two put together are just freaking me out.

My, best advice is to skip a day or two and start on 5 mg.
