Ugh. Abilify. Sedation and dosing.

Shit, I have been posting my ass off about this med. For some reason I am more anxious about it than others that I have had I think.

Anyone who has taken it twice a day seen an improvement in sedation by switching to taking it once a day?

I went from 15mg to 10mg because of tremors and then to 20mgs now because there were problems with lowering the med. All of the sudden the tremors are lessening but it is making me sedated and I would rather take it once a day.

Overall, the sideeffects are not that bad. But the sedation is making it difficult to do a whole lot. It's a general feeling of not having slept very well for a long time, but I'm sleeping 12ish hours a night, which is more than usual, and then 2 to 4 or more hours toward the afternoon and evening. I'd like to remedy that if possible.

Maybe it will just improve on its own after a time?

Thanks.

LR.

It does take time to adjust to abilify, and even new doses.

Give it some time, and perhaps keep a diary for your next dr appointment so you can trace any patterns.
