I was on abilify for several months. I never felt dizzy or sick. Just slept for the better part of three days when I first started. I also had anxiety issues after I had achieved a therapeudic dose. Not the typical reaction though.
How long have you been on the meds. It may just be a passing thing. Many side effects diminish or disappear altogether after you've been on the med for awhile.

I started taking abilify last friday (6/30). I felt like total ***. I had hot and cold sweats, bad bad stomach ache, very sleepy, almost flu-like symptoms. So then I stopped taking it Sunday (7/2). I still felt sick, so then I decided maybe it was that I really was getting sick.

My doc said that if I was really tired from it, I should take it at night...so I just took it, and I'm about to go to bed. Hopefully, I won't be so tired tomorrow. I'm prescribed 5 mg abilify and 200 mg wellbutren. I love the wellbutren, hopefully the abilify will be just as great.

What are some of the symptoms you guy/gals seem to be experiencing? At the start, at the end and throughout?

Thanks,
Sara
