OK, I'm trying Abilify now for the third time, this time at a higher dosage than previously. I'm at 15 mg now and feel energized and somewhat soothed. However, like the two times I took it before, I am getting a weird side effect: increased libido. Like, really increased to the point...Well, let's just say I'm running out of lotion. I don't think its mania, I don't feel elevated. Is this a documented phenomena with Abilify?

Dear P,
This side effect happened for me also... Even on such a low dose as 6.25 mg.
Just wondering, are you male/female? Trying to figure out if this side effect is gender related...

I had the same thing with abilify. Dancing and getting a hard one, on the floor, not even close to her.
