Hi,
I have been taking Abilify 5 mg for 5 weeks now and i'm still doing great. I'm taking it with Effexor and Lamictal for the treatment of BP II disorder.
As a bonus Abilify has restored my libido, i mean it is quite high :-D
I think Abilify is a great drug. 5 mg is easier to tolerate than 1 or 2.5 mg, for me at least.

Why? For me Abilify was activating at 2.5 mg, but not at 5 mg. Now i have no side effect at all, but i got insomnia during the first week but now it's gone.
