A question about taking abilify (aripiprazole) long term: does the restlessness ever diminish or go away?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It's individual.: There is no one size fits all and different people respond differently to the same medication. If you experience restlessness i suggest you see your psychiatrist and investigate this issue.

Akathisia: If chronic, less likely. Discuss with your doctor possibility of dose adjustment, adding supplement to ease the side effects, or switching.
