Abilify questions

[paranoid_android]

Hi, I've been diagnosed with psychosis and did know where else to post this. I have been put on 10mg of Abilify, so far I only took one, which was yesterday at 8:20AM. At about 11:30AM I started to feel expremely restless which lead me to feel anxious(I was at day hospital in group, and could not concentrate at all and was getting frusterated). I noticed that my sinuses started to act up (I do have sinus issues) I could not breathe out of my nose. I got home around 3 or 4, and it felt like I had a sinus headache, my sinuses felt bad. I fell asleep around 4 or 5 (I felt really tired) I woke up a couple of times, but didn"t wake up completely until 10:21AM, today. Is this normal for this medication to do this, is it a coincidence, or is this all in my head. I haven't taken a dose yet today, I rather deal with psychosis than feeling physically ill, tired and miserable.

I've been on abilify for about 3 weeks now. mostly I've just felt better, more acutely aware, able to focus. however, today i felt like lead and my nose got really stuffed up and i have a dull headache. I'm quite sure it's from the abilify.
i wouldn't stop taking the med until you speak to your doc, though. as for me, as long as this episode is few and far between, abilify is working for me.

Yes, well, I do plan on doing that. I am supposed to go back to the day hospital on Moday. But, today is Saturday, so I can not call them, I have to wait till Monday. I'm asking if anyone here has have this type of thing happen while they were taking the medication, because I don't really want to take this Abilify.
