Abilify- Stanford Clinic Patients

[MartinK]

Please, all Abilify experienced people - Can it take a while for Abilify to increase my energy levels?
Extreme fatigue (Im bedridden) is my main problem together with severe PEMs. I started Abilify almost a month ago and now Im on 0.50 mg. I'm still waiting for the energy effect...

Please can you motivate me and describe your experience?
Did your energy improve only on higher doses?

How long did it take for the energy improvement to appear? And what was the dose? I don't want to increase quickly because once it has already caused me restlessness, insomnia and anxiety.

For me it was quick—about a week—dose probably 0.5 mg initially.

5 to 7 days with me at around 0.5mg. Responders seem to have different sweet spots. You may need a slightly higher dose.
