Here is where you can search the forum for the word "Abilify." Even just the BP forum! There have been many posts regarding this. Hopefully you find some that are helpful. I love the search function! :)

For me, it made me VERY restless to the point where I had to stop taking it.

I used to swear by it. I don't think it works for me like it used to though. Had some weight gain and drowsiness. Later on had a touch of one of the more serious side effects that I've gone blank on the name... involuntary muscle movements... I'll have to look up the name...

Not 100% sure... but I think TD... Looking it up, the description is slightly off from what I experienced and how my pdoc explained it to me... I experienced a punching motion, not anything with the face.
