Abilify (aripiprazole): Usually there is not decreased effect when taking medications with food. Sometimes there are absorbed better. Abilify (aripiprazole) is usually prescribed together with an antidepressant to augment the effect. If taken at breakfast, it will not cause many side effects. Akathisia (restlessness of the legs) might be one of the few effects noticed. It is not very commonly reported.
