In what way do you feel terrible. Is it a tired feeling? An irritated and frustrated feeling? Explain more.

Sounds like you are have the wrong effect from Abilify. you need to stop taking it and switch to anouther imediatly. I had the similar problems with it. I take zyprexa, works well.

Try adding a stimulant to the zyprexa, like wellbutrin sr, thats what I do. It will take away from over eating and provide energy. You could get the same from adding abilify to zyprexa. Altough I had a hard time take the abilify with or with out zyprexa. The wellbutrin sr works best for me.

should i do abilify 5 mg instead of 15 mg? maybe 15 mg is too big to starti already tryed zyprexa and abilify it was horrible

Yup, cut your abilify dose before you give up on it. Several people on the boards have said that helped.

Definitely try a smaller dose. I'm on Abilify for the second time now, I take about 3.5mg a day. The first time I took it, I was taking 10mg a day and I had side effects of blurred vision, akathisia, frustration, impatience, etc. I would definitely recommend trying 5mg a day.
