Abilify Side Effects

Hi - I have been taking Abilify for about a month for GAD. Take it in conjunction with Paxil. It has helped me a great deal. However, I feel tired a lot. I also can feel shaky and can feel very noticeable fatigue in my legs or arms, which seems more pronounced on certain days. Has anyone else experienced side effects like these?

Yes. I have nothing nice to say about either drug, actually, quite a lot of bad to say about Paxil in particular. Everyone's different though and SSRIs are notorious for taking their sweet time; so maybe something may change in the next few weeks.

I have been on Paxil and it hasn't been a big help. After a really difficult time, I had Abilify added. It helped a lot and within about four to five days. Going through some difficulty circumstanced now and noticing my mind has mostly kept from getting totally overwhelmed, but my body feels shaky (anxiety or the medication) and sometimes I have an irresistible urge to move my toes.
