I started on Abilify 15mg three days ago after being on Seroquel 900mg for a psychotic disorder. The first two days were tough; I had very bad akithisia: reslessness, sweating and insomnia. I think a lot of the insomnia had to do with the abrupt termination of the Seroquel. I have been using a lot of propranolol for the Akithisia and it works VERY well. I am thinking so clearly, I have lots of energy even though I sleep far fewer hours than I did on the Seroquel, and my appetite has subsided dramatically. I just hope it only gets better from here on; I seem to be responding well to Abilify which is great. Are there any others here who have been on it for a long time and feel it gets better with time? I ask because I have read a lot of posts here where people state that their anxiety and insomnia got worse with time…
