I thought I was the only one who had problems with language development on Abilify. I take a small dose, 2.5 to 5 mg daily, and I find myself stumbling, staggering, stammering over words during conversations with others. For that reason I occasionally stop taking it.
I believe the reason for this is that Abilify is a very potent anti-psychotic. I take Zyprexa and Seroquel (for sleep) and they don't seem to affect my speech like Abilify does.
On the plus side, Abilify makes me more sociable and gets me out of my shell. So I guess it's all a trade off. It was good reading your post. By the way, what type of movement disorder are you experiencing on Abilify?
