Thanks to all for your replies. I like Scott's description of sleep as "choppy". That is a word that fits. My experience with meds has been that I do initially have side effects but they go away over time. It is encouraging to know that this may be the case with the akathesia as well. I've also reduced my caffeine consumption down to a couple of cups in the morning. Maybe I should stop that as well?
Two weeks ago we stopped Seroquel 25-50 mg at bedtime for sleep. I still have it available as needed but wanted to go off it completely to have a better picture of how Abilify would work. So, I am not on any other meds except for the Abilify.
I've noticed one benefit in my short time on this med. When anxious or stressed, my thoughts become jumbled up and I have a hard time picking out just one to express. This is getting better with the Abilify. It seems as though my thoughts are slowing down and becoming more sequential. I guess I can share more on that later.
Again, your replies are so greatly appreciated.
