a friend of mine takes abilify and i take geodon and lithium..were both bipolar..i was under the impression abilify is an antipsychotic and mood stabilizer in one? can someone clear this up?

...as for that restless thing...i get it when im standing..where i have to shift weight back and forth sometimes but its kinda involuntary, i can stop easily...its very mild and its not overwhelming..i imagine the worst part of that if it was full blown would be trying to go to sleep..having insomnia because youre constantly shifting in bed or have thoughts about wanting to get up and do things constantly keeping you from sleeping..if you need shit try different stuff until you get something with less sideeffects if you notice unbearable ones.
notransfer Reviewed by notransfer on . Abilify (Aripiprazole) My doctor prescribed Abilify (Aripiprazole) after evaluating me. I was wondering if anyone had been put on them or if anyone knows ne one who was. some of the side effects scare me. Like Akathisia, check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akathisia That scares me quite a bit. I understand that stuff about how they have to list it and all. What is really funny is on the abilify website it says that NO ONE knows for sure how aripiprazole works, only that they think it has something to do Rating: 5
