Abilify side effect

Hello,

My son takes 2.5 mg of Abilify ( since May) that seems to help him a little, however he started complaining that his legs feel funny and he can not get comfy.

Did anybody’s child experienced similar symptoms?

Thank you

Talk to his doctor. There is a reversible side effect called akathisia that makes the individual feel restless.

My son had that with all the stimulant meds. He hasn’t tried Abilify in particular but restless legs can happen with many different drugs. Call his doc.
