It makes me sleepy and tired.
Not at all in my experience.
It’s a slight stimulant I think. Don’t quote me on that. It did nothing with my energy, I took it in morning for awhile with no sleepiness. Everybody’s different though!
Really, have you tried Haldol? There is a shortage of Haldol now but it wont leave you tired.
It did the complete opposite to me. It woke me up so much that i couldnt sit still.
I take 10mg Abilify in the morning and 15mg at night. That’s the way my psychiatrist prescribed it for me.
I was on 30mg at some stage but that totally knocked me out.
I take 10mg Zolpidem with the Abilify at night.
I sleep so many hours on abilify I’ve actually lost count. Maybe with time it will go down.
Does it make you tired Fellowman?
It use to make me very tired but lately it feels a bit activating. It’s more the negative symptoms that makes me to lead a sedentary life than the meds. I’m now approximately 6 years on Abilify and I’m only lately happy that I changed to Abilify.
Nope. Not sleepy. I don’t find it activating either. Im on 15mg
Im on abilify maintena i was on xeplion in the past which left me with insomnia, abilify is making me sleepy yes its also a third generation anti psychotic
“Aripiprazole as the third generation antipsychotic prototype.”
It doesn’t make me sleepy, but I take the minimum dose, 5 mg.
