I was on Abilify for a while, it acts as a seratonin regulator, not just increasing or decreasing it, but keeping the levels constant. A lot of pharmaceutical companies don't know how medications whork, but if they do, then they work. And that's enough for them. Why are you on Abilify?

Akathisia is not too common with Abilify, more common with heavier anti-psychotics. Wikipedia is not the most relaible source of info, but essentially it's that feeling that you want to get up and do stuff.

It helps with disorganized schizophrenics, as their symptoms usually indicate extreme apathy, lack of motivation, ect. Abilify made me motivated, and helped me concentrate better, so I am happy for that. I did get minor akathisia, but when it was getting annoying, I either lowered my dose gradually, or smoked a bowl. The latter helped better.
