Abilify is supposed to be a bit activating, especially at my dose (10mg). But I’ve always taken it with either clonazepam(now stopped) or l-theanine.
I recently switched l-theanine brands from the “now” brand which is decaffinated green tea leaves to pure l-theanine powder in capsules.
Now I feel the activating effects of abilify.
I actually left the house today which is a big deal for me as I rarely leave the house unless I absolutely have to.
That’s awesome! I take green tea extract every day but don’t feel different (I also drink 2-3 cups of green tea a day) I think I need more.
I’m so glad you feel good, @everhopeful! I hope it continues! 
enjoy the hell out of it… just monitor your sleep habits…
I try to leave the house everyday-one or two times at least.
I’m like that too. I have to leave my room to go to day treatment, but most of my daily activity consists of the short walk to day treatment and back. I rarely leave the auspices of my assisted living program. Sometimes I feel like I am missing out on life, but other times I feel like I can fill up my life with my own imagination, regardless of my circumstances.
