I currently take both cymbalta and abilify together. I have been taking cymbalta since 2007 and just recently started taking abilify since October 2011. I also recently broke my right foot and havent been able to do much physically for 8 weeks and still have 2 more weeks in a removable boot. Lately, I have been having the jitters and restlessness to the point of not being able to sit forlonger than 10 seconds or watch TV for that matter. It's very frustrating and even at night have a hard time laying down to go to sleep. I also take Ambien for sleep problems on occasion, but have been taking it more often to actually sleep. I try not to drink caffeine as much and not sure if this is harboring the problem as well. Anyone else have these problems?

I was on Cymbalta and it made me very irritable. It does sound like your very restless. I'd give the Dr. a call just to check in if they are understanding they'll listen to you and call you back on it to reassure you either way so at least your not wondering what the heck.. you know? that used to happen to me couldn't sleep for nothing..and now FINALLY I'm going for a sleep study. hope this helps..someone Cares :-)

I decided not to take the ability last night to see what would happen this morning and so far, I am not near as restless or jittery. I feel much better and I am able to actually sit for a few more seconds today. I'm hoping that maybe once I am out of the boot and able to workout, that I will be able to take the abilify again and work out my energy. Thanks!
