Aurochs Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I've been on 5mg/day Abilify for a little over a month, and it's making me tired as hell. If I'm on my feet I'm fine (if slightly less attentive), but I almost feel like I can't sit down without a cup of coffee in my hand, and even that only works for a short while. Does anybody know if this side effect gets better or worse as the dose increases? I didn't feel like this at 2mg/day, but maybe its activating effects start to show more at higher doses. At the same time, I can't be completely zonked out during my workday, so any advice is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netsavy006 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 What time of day do you take the Abilify? If it makes you sleepy best to take it in the night. I don't know how the activation works. Sorry, but best of luck to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurochs Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 I take it before bed, but it hardly matters - it's making me sleepy all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Changed Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I'm on 5mg right now and it knocks me out! It also isnt doing much for me mentally so I will be going off asap. Was it helping at 2mg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
