You can go back to find your doctor to adjust your medication.

Titration of Abilify often induces the feeling of restlessness,
which the doctors often called it "Akathisia".
It often happens in the initial days of dosage titration.

You can go to find your doctor, and tell him/her the condition you met:
Besides, some ways of medication adjustment could be considered:
<1>Taper the dosage of Abilify can reduce the feeling of unease
(just split the pill to 1/2 tablet, or even 1/4 tablet)
<2>Discuss with your doctor to adjust your medication, including
adding some beta-blocker (for example: Inderal(propranolol))
and/or some Benzodiazepines (for example: Rivotril(clonazepam))
to reduce the feeling of restlessness which Abilify brought to you.
