Not usually, but any: Medication can cause an unusual side effect in anyone. Abilify (aripiprazole) can cause involuntary motorovements, e.g., chewing the inside of one's cheek or lip moving one's hands " like a rapper, " (dyskinesia) turning one's head to the side with eyes gazing out & up (dystonia) or severe motor restlessness (akathesia). Benadryl helps, but please tell your doctor. Don't take cough meds with dextromethorphan.
