In reply to has anyone been on Abilify ?, posted by surfaced on February 13, 2006, at 1:11:08
Hi,
I take Abilfy 30 mg in the am. And took Risperdal in the past although I didnt find it to be sedating. The Abilify gives me dry mouth occasionally but no other side effects. I did have a touch of akathesia in the begiining but that went away. Akathesia is something like being restless and not happy where you are but not happy doing anything else either. Mine was rather mild, only lasted for about 10 minutes at a time very infrequently the first few days.Risperdal - I took it as an antipsychotic and took 3 mg daily. It works very well to get rid of mania. However it also does a good job of putting on weight. I switched to Seroquel, which I am much happier with.
