Well, when I went to 5mg, I noticed my thumbs twitching. Before that, (at 2mg) I wasn't sure--it quieted my thoughts, but wasn't sure it felt 'right'. By 10 mg. I wasn't able to smile properly and felt very flat, emotionally.
After deciding that abilify was a failure, my doc also shortly after, changed my Dx. It had been BPnos. It became MDD TR plus c-ptsd.
I do want to add, though, that many people have been helped by abilify. This is just my personal experience.
If I had stayed on a low dose, I might have continued the Abilify.
hope this helps, and good luck.
hugs,
