I took aripiprazole for 6 months but the anxiety was unbearable. Now I’m on olanzapine for more than 5 months. The anxiety is more manageable but I still have it. I would like to know if anyone had anxiety from the aripiprazole and if it ever stopped for them and when ? When did it stop after stopping the abilify ? 
With Abilify, were you on the shot of the pills? The side effects from shots tend to stick around longer than pills. But either way, 5 months seems a bit long.
My hypersexuality from Abilify stopped after 9 months of stopping it.

I’m not anxious to my knowledge and I’m on it
I was on pills. I developped OCD fear of Acting Out. I’m affraid if I will really do strange things to people when they are close to me
The pills should be out of your system in about a month.
If you’re experiencing anxiety it’s no longer due to abilify.
İ used abilify 2 years agoand it also caused anxiety at me.i donr remember how long it take to stop but it s stop eventually after quit.so don t worry.
All aps are known to cause anxiety which can be stopped with a benzodiapine
Its possible but not most of the time. I never had anxiety from antipsychotics, even on 25mg Abilify.
