hi! yeah, the first 2 weeks or so on abilify sometimes suck...you might be able to avoid problems if you do a very slow titration. I imagine for someone in your situation the shrink would want to hit a dosage below 10mgs, which is the point at which abilify becomes an effective antipsychotic. Maybe you could start at 10mgs, then gradually work up to whatever helps? That might be best. Your doc might also want to consider as-needed propranolol and benzo medication during the first 2 weeks to deal with any hardcore side effects.
