Abilify side effects - sleepy, withdrawn...anyone?

I just started 2.5/day of Abilify for mild bipolar. I was supposed to start at 5mg, but I know I'm really sensitive to side effects and such so I halfed the dose to start.

I took it at night the first night and had a really restless night. The following day I was really drowsy. I took it in the morning today (didn't take it yesterday since i took it the night before) and have been really sleepy off and on all day. I've also felt kind of emotionally blunted (not in a good way--like I still have anxiety, but with the thoughts and just not the feelings) and withdrawn (less social), a little nauseous, etc.

Has anyone had a similar experience, and does it go away after awhile?

Has anyone felt the same thing?
