Here's what The Bipolar Child newsletter says about Abilify:


"Like other atypical antipsychotics, aripiprazole has a low risk of producing extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS)—the disorders of posture and movement that some patients experience with the older neuroleptic-type antipsychotics, such as chlorpromazine (Thorazine) and haloperidal (Haldol). Typical EPS include early and later muscle contractions (dystonia), slowed movements (akinesia, or parkinsonism), motor restlessness often accompanied by severe anxiety (akathisia), and later-emerging tardive dyskinesia (TD)."
