Scott,
I would suggest bringing it up to your doctor. I have social anxiety and ADD. I take 7.5mg, but mostly because the pharmacy just had 15mg and my doctor had me split these since it wouldn't been a big difference from waiting a few days for the 10mg and then splitting those.
Abilify is taken once a day.
I experienced extreme sedation and dry mouth last night, and into the next day, but got enough motivation to open my Adderall and now feel great. No effect is so pronounced I feel like crediting Abilify to it just yet, of course it's just the second day.
Do take it at night, obviously, if you want to live through the sedation lol. But this is with any AP (not that I've tried any other). It's likely the sedation will go away for me after a week.
Because you will know if it works 7-10 days after taking it, it's worth it because there's just a little investment into it that way. My insurance, which is pretty good, charged me for it for $25-- which is its rare expensive class. But I don't mind that if it works. My life is worth $25/month. I've spent much more on things that kept me miserable.
