Yes and like Abilify it has a lower potential for weight gain and also similar to it can be activating rather than sedating so if it keeps you up at night you could ask your psychiatrist to take it in the morning. There is a rare risk of heart arrythmia so you'd have to get an EKG first like I did when I took it. You could ask your psychiatrist more about all this.
