Yes... likely.... Abilify is known to produce akathisia. Akathisia is the feeling of wanting to move and punch a hole through the wall or writhe on the sofa. The best drug I've found to overcome it is the anticholinergic Akineton (biperiden) or Artane (trihexiphenidyl). Benzodiazepines and to a limited degree beta blockers can also be used.
