How did your first night taking Abilify go?
I take it too, and have not had any side effects, hopefully it went well.

I'm on 5 mg of abilify, have yet to experience any balance problems from taking the med.
I read that it was stimulating, so I take it in the morning.

How'd your first night go? I'm on 20mg at night and combined with the other med I take I'm the most stable I've been in a long time with the least amount of side effects. Hope you're doing ok. Lots of luck!!

I've been on it twice. First time I kinda tolerated it but I was in a psych wars and being given other Meds to help me
Tolerate it. Second time I tried to restart it I was on 10mg but I had to much agitation I stopped taking it. My anxiety comes out in irritability and this med didn't help this agitation and irritation bit I've known it to work well in others so don't let what I've said put you off.
