"i was suffering from depression for 20 years and was prescribed 200mg zoloft and 30mg wellbutrin xr years ago.  however, i still felt depressed, stuck and unsociable, so my psyche added abilify. in the beginning i was on 2.5mg, which helped me tremendously with no side effects.  then my dose was increased to 5mg and then to 10mg and now i have difficulty with fine motor skills, especially my handwriting and have muscle aches in my upper arms, both of which i attribute to the increased dose of abilify.  my psych was unavailable for a month, so after a considerable amount of research online, i chose to cut my dose back to 5 mg.  my handwriting is better, but still suffer from upper body aches. see your doctor before changing your dose."
