I dealt with HORRIBLE side effects from Abilify. God awful nausea, but I couldn't throw up. I was green for a solid day the first and only day I took Abilify. Really green. One of the worst days of my life for real.
If the side effects are unbearable, then you probably shouldn't keep taking the med. But you need to talk to your doctor first and foremost. Regarding herbs, I've had bad experiences while taking herbs along with head meds. Especially Valerian. It really messed me up for a good week after I quit drinking the tea. But I'd suggest talking to your doc before incorporating herbs in with your treatment.
And don't be afraid to page your doctor over the weekend. It's part of their job to be available to you.
