So I'm on 10mg. Abilify and 1mg. Cogentin (because I had an episode of akathesia that was miserable). My mind is much quieter and I'm not struggling with mixed states since being on the Abilify, which is good. But here's the problem. I am so sleepy all day, so flat, I don't have a life. If I could I would just sleep around the clock. I mean, it's bad. No motivation, nothing, I just want to fall asleep.

This is not a way to live. Does anyone have experience with Abilify, Cogentin, or both together? I keep falling asleep as I'm typing this. It's absolutely crazy. Trying to get an appt. with pdoc this week, but feel like I can't do another day like this.

If someone has some experiences and suggestions, please tell me. Thank you.

Great! I receive shots of Abilify and it is working very well! I see that you are BP though while I am SZA with BP2. Thus, I don't have much problems with my BP2 as much as psychosis. The side effects I have are tiredness and increased appetite. I drink much coffee and tea though and have been exercising. I am doing well overall and hope you will too!
