Abilify and exercise / lifting

It’s my first time taking these type of meds , I just got on abilify once a month shot. Overall I feel fine no complaints except when it comes to working out . I can’t lift or run the way I used to. I used to go to the gym 5x a week, hour - hour and a half workouts. Used to doing 2 miles without gassing out. But now I can’t seem to do half of that. Energy levels at the gym are low, I’ll do 30 mins and feel shot. Can’t lift as heavy although I’m slowly building some strength. And forget about running - I’m gassing out after 1 lap .

Can anyone share their experience ? Have you gone back to your “normal” routine at the gym - if so how long did it take for you to adjust ? What about cardio?
