I would love to hear any positive stories about abilify, and how long it took to feel a difference. What milligrams you take... Whatever you would like to share smile

    I take 800 mg 6-7 times a day. Gabapentin works. No problems but at the end of the day I am tired. Can't have alcohol.

      That's great. It's done so much for me and my mom she has neuropathy in her legs walks on a walker she's only 53 but she's prescribed 800 mg 3x a day it helps so much.

    I take Gabapentin 800mg 6 -7 times a day due to neurropathy in my feet due to exposure to agent orange. The only side affect is it makes me drowsy.

    Today is my 4the day on 10mg abilify I've been in bed 90% of the time. Just so sleepy and out of it feeling. Tonight I decided to take 5mg instead, I'm just wondering does this get better. Please Lord I hope so!!!
