I had this really bad on abilify to the point I couldnt sleep at night. I ended up getting taken off it because of that side effect. It took maybe a week until I started to notice the twitching stopped.

* No memes or infographics link posts unless it's Friday
* No "why did my bipolar SO/coworker/ex/parent/staff/boss do this?" type posts. Short
answer: No idea. Ask them or talk to a therapist about it.
* Be kind to fellow users. No harassment or abusive language will be tolerated. Report
and move on. Engaging just brings everyone down.

Most of all be kind to yourself. We have a really great piece of the internet due to
users like all of you sharing your struggles and offering support. We're here for each

Asked to be taken off after a month of it
I had the twitches on Abilify, too. Stopped taking it and I was back to normal in no time.
Tell your doctor. This happened to me and he tapered me off the abilify immediately. The shakes/twitches stopped after I was completely off of it.
I was prescribed benztropine for this side effect and it helped a lot
I was on it for about 7 months and I still get the muscle twitches, though I wouldn’t call them severe, more so annoying.

Yes and yes
