A member asked:
Do side effects like akathisia and high heart rate go away over time while on abilify (aripiprazole) or will they always be there?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Abilify (aripiprazole): Although Abilify (aripiprazole) is less likely than many other antipsychotics to cause side effects like akathisia and restless legs, etc, it can certainly do it when the dose is high enough. Please contact your psychiatrist about these issues, as a dose adjustment may be needed for relief.
