I'm on 20mg of Abilify for bipolar disorder, along with a couple other meds. I haven't had any noticable side effects from it.
Are you spelling the name correctly?
I don't take Abilify. I do know something about it though because of a previous job. Do make sure you are seeing your doc regularly. I believe one risk - although relatively small, especially compared to the therapeutic benefits - is tardive dyskinesia. Tardive dyskinesia is a neurological syndrome caused by the long-term use of neuroleptic drugs. Neuroleptic drugs are generally prescribed for psychiatric disorders, as well as for some gastrointestinal and neurological disorders. Tardive dyskinesia is characterized by repetitive, involuntary, purposeless movements. Features of the disorder may include grimacing, tongue protrusion, lip smacking, puckering and pursing, and rapid eye blinking. Rapid movements of the arms, legs, and trunk may also occur. Involuntary movements of the fingers may appear as though the patient is playing an invisible guitar or piano.*
