Why Am I Feeling Tired And Drowsy After Taking Ablify?

Hi, I'm taking Abilify and I have been so extremely tired after starting it. I have slept all day today and I am still exhausted. I was so exhausted earlier that when I was trying to drive to the library I almost passed out at the wheel. It's been a struggle to keep my eyes open. I have three exams and two projects coming up this week. Should I stop taking it?

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
Abilify is a drug with much of sedation,so it is common to have a feeling like this.
I advise you to take it in the early evening, so that you may vein off the sedation by early morning, if you work in the late nights also,consult your doctor in this matter.
You can have sedation less, drugs, or an injection form every fortnight.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
