A member asked:
Took 5mg of abilify (aripiprazole) and experiencing some akathisia. will this go away soon even though the half life for abilify (aripiprazole) is 75 hours?

Best to treat: Contact your psychiatrist about treatment options of lower dose, drug drug interactions that could be raising your Abilify (aripiprazole) level, and possibility of Inderal or another med to treat it. It can be quite miserable and cause a lot of distress. Hope you feel better soon.
