I was on Seroquel for 15 months. I then switched to Abilify for a 6 week trial. I experienced a severe case of akathisia that still is with me today even after stopping three weeks ago. I am no longer on the Seroquel and think that some of what I am experiencing might be withdrawal from that med as well.
I cannot sleep for more than 2 hours at a time. I have an incredible amount of inner tension and I have no appetite to speak of. I have done some reading and believe that this will pass with time.
I know Abilify is helpful for some, but be careful to watch for the akathisia. It is known for producing this.
