Slance,
Do a search on "akathesia" or "akathisia". Not sure what the correct spelling is. This sounds like what your going through. I had this on 15mg day of Abilify and had to quit. It took over 2 weeks for it to go away on 15mg. Abilify has a super long half life. It is the worst side effect I have ever had on a med. I couldn't stop moving. Benadryl is supposed to help and it actually did only for about two days for me, but after that the agitation started again. Other meds may help too, but my pdoc told me there is no "real" cure. He gave me a choice to stop Abilify or lower the dose and I chose to stop it. Good Luck
