> Well today was my second day on Abilify 10 mg. The first day my neck got really stiff and I felt like I had a lump in my throat and I vomited. On the second day my neck didn't get as stiff and the lump in my throat is smaller but I threw up once. We'll see how day three goes. I have heard you feel like crap for the first week though...anyone her know how long this feeling lasts? Does anyone know if vitamins/herbs interact with Abilify?
I didn't experience nausea when I first started Abilify, but I guess the dopamine agonist part of the drug is responsible for it. I experienced a mild akathisia-like state that lasted for about a week. I started right at 20mg. My best guess is that the nausea is temporary and that it will probably let up soon.
Why are you taking Abilify?
For me, it helps a little with mental energy and motivation. It also works to reduce anxiety and suicidal ideation.
I hope you feel better soon.
