Anyone else on it? What do you think of it? What's your regimen?
I'm having severe acid reflux (didnt have before started taking it)
Muscle soreness (its uber bad)
and sleep issues but always have dunno if the abilify is contributing or not.

abilify 15mg
zoloft 75mg
klonopin 0.5 2x day or prn
trazadone 50mg

Well you get points for variety in my eyes lol

I can't say anything else though as I've never been on it, infact this is the first time I've even heard of it, goes to show I have a lot more to learn about medications.

 Are you BP 1 goose? Why do they have you on an antidepressant [zoloft?]
  I found this info on the internet....the thing about the muscle stiffness is serious...I think you should call the Doc and tell them about it...and tell them that you read about it being a bad side effect...see what they say.

Always notify your doctor if you experience any of these Abilify side effects:
Rare: Convulsions; difficulty in breathing; fast heartbeat; high fever; high or low blood pressure; increased sweating; loss of bladder control; severe muscle stiffness; sudden loss of consciousness; unusual tiredness; unusually pale skin; impaired memory

Wow Paz I didn't read that. Thank you and I will call tomorrow. Yes to the bp1 and they said zoloft will help the anxiety...which I think it has.
