I went back down to 2mg. I couldn't tolerate the side effects of the higher doses, mainly feeling tired and also the weight gain was bothering me. I've already lost 3 lbs. since dropping the dose, and seem to have a little more energy.

I had some akathesia when I changed the dose but it seems to have gone away now.

> Well, I have settled on 5mg of Abilify for now. I have tried doses between 2mg and 10mg. Of course 2mg had least side effects but I didn't see any benefits in mood. 10mg made me so tired and "spaced out" so 5mg seems to be the best spot for me. I do get some restlessness but I have used Klonopin and Benedryl to help with that.
