I tried Abilify a few years ago and it did not seem to do much for my movements. I don't remember the dosage, but I do remeber it was expensive. $80.00 a month even with insurance. I now taking resperdol twice a day and that seems to be helping the movmenents I was having
at night.

My husband is also on Resperdol 2X per day. Even tho he has never had really bad movements, It seems to be helping him.

Hi Abilify did not help my husband, he has been taking 2ml of respedol in the morning and 2 ml in the evening, its hard to find out which medicine is good, good luck to you.
