okay so i started 3.75 mg abilify on september 10 which means i've been on it a month
at first i could only sleep like 5 or 6 hours a night, but now i can sleep a good 10 hours easy
mood stability, no side effects, seems like a good drug

I've increased my dosage of Abilify to 3.75 mg daily and am doing well. The Abilify takes getting used to; start with a low dose and increase it gradually. Any akathesia which shows up decreases with time, at least in my experience.
