The movements in the face and neck/mouth caused by drugs like Abilify, are called Tardive dyskinesia.

This may respond to Vit B6...
There are some studies showing response:

The cause of Tardive involves dopamine receptor blockade.

If you decide to use B6, I would suggest you use the activated form called P5P.

Here is my thread on B6:

I would definitely do the magnesium as well, since these two nutrients work together in many places in the body.
