Hi Irene,
I don't think you want to take Abilify for anxiety. I've been on it for a while. The fist time I was on it I was a nervous reck for several months. It caused extreem anxiety and restlesness. I quit it, but now I'm back on it. At 5 and 10mgs it was fine. As soon as I went up to 15 mgs I had akithisia (when you just can't sit still, did I spell that righ?).

Maybe you can take it at a low dose. Maybe start at 5mg or lower (all under the supervision of a doc of corse). Then increase to 10mg, but I wouldn't go any higher than that (I had to go back down to 10 myself.) However, it was very effective at lifting depression for me ( in conjunction to other meds).

Good luck,
Dm
