I don't know what your diagnosis is, or what else you're on but...do you need an antipsychotic? If you're anything but schizophrenic/schizoaffective, you might want to try a non-neuroleptic treatment route.
I don't know what this "buzzing" thing is all about, but it sounds irritating. Phillipa's right; 10mgs is a pretty high Abilify starting dose. You might try going lower (they make 2 and 5mgs tabs) and then slowly working up. Why are you aiming for 20mgs? The antipsychotic effects of Abilify are usually apparent @ 10mgs.
Good luck!
