Abilify, skin crawling sensation

Second day on abilify 5mg.  Does anyone feel like their skin crawls on this stuff.  I am jittery and feel really weird, like I could rub my arms and legs like crazy.  I feel figity.  My Pdoc put me on Inderal for my high blood pressure/hypertension.  She wants to wean me off of Lithium onto Abilify.  I am supposed to take it for a whole month along with my entire dose of Lithium (1450mg).  She also wants to keep me on Wellbutrin 300mg.  Will this feeling go away?  I tossed and turned with this crawling feeling all last night.  I am having it bad right now.

Thanks, I guess I will hang in there.  Better this morning, I took it a few hours ago.  I have also heard I would do better if I take it at night instead?  My Pdoc said morning is best because it perks you up.  However, I have read that it is best at night to help with sleep.  Your opinion please?  Thanks!!

I'm on it and it makes me really shaky and almost have a drunk feeling.  It is getting better the more I take it though.  So hopefully yours will go away.  Oh, I have been on it for about 2 and half weeks.

Take care!
