I started 2mg of Abilify on Tuesday. Last night and today my stomach has done nothing but ache. I don’t even feel like eating and the smell of food makes me want to vomit. Is this normal?
Does abilify make you feel sick?

Hi, Allison!
Yes, these can be side effects when first starting treatment with Abilify:
"Common (1% to 10% of users): Abdominal discomfort, dry mouth, dyspepsia, nausea, salivary hypersecretion, vomiting"
The good news is that side effects generally resolve within days to a week or two and usually get milder quickly.
You can ask your doctor or talk with your pharmacist... there are several OTC remedies you could try.
Best regards and I hope you're feeling better very soon!
