"i&#039;ve been on abilify for nearly 2 years.  the first month or so was rough (tired early at night or after a cocktail, restless sleep, waking up early, dizziness, foggy head), but after my dr. reduced my dose to 2.5 mg/day, side effects improved.  the ones that remain are profuse night sweats (soaked sheets) and constipation.  it does make you a bit tired, but i take it before bed.  it completely helped with my irritation/agitation towards people and my children.  i have a ton more patience and less anxiety overall.  the biggest issue i have is the cost. get the abilify savings card if you are starting a new prescription!"
