Abilify Side Effects
Abilify side effects vary in severity from person to person. Based on studies that have been done the effects can be categorized as Common, Less Common, and Rare.
I have categorized them below so that you can better identify severity of side effects and the associated risks.
Common Side Effects
The most common experiences are usually very mild in nature, with a few exceptions, and include the following:
Dizziness
Drowsiness
Restlessness
Head aches
Difficulty sleeping
Constipation
Nausea and/or vomiting
Feeling anxious
Less Common Side Effects
The experiences are less common and include, but are not limited to, the following:
Less Severe
Congestion / nasal inflammationJoint and muscle achesLoss of energy / feeling weakFeelings of nervousnessUnexplained cough More Severe
Involuntary quiveringInvoluntary facial movementsReaction of Extrapyramidal Tracts
The Extrapyramidal Tract is the neural pathways outside of the pyramidal tracts. The pathways outside of the pyramidal tracts include nerve pathways in the brain that are primarily concerned with coordination and reflex movement. While the studies don't go into a lot of details, the fact that they have documented any reaction should be cause for pause and concern.
Rare Abilify Side Effects
There are several rare effects of taking the medication that are listed below:
