Parkinsonism: Abilfy is less likely to cause side effects than any of the older meds it replaces. Still, at high doses you start to see some parkinsonism (stiffness, decreased blinking) also you can see restlessness (akathesia) GI symptoms, sedation, dizziness. Best to review this with your doctor. Benadryl (diphenhydramine) has potentally a lot of side effects too.
