Yes, the drop in blood pressure when going from a lying to sitting position can be a side effect with Ambilify.  Most side effects can tend to last a few weeks and then go away if its the right med for you.  Unfortunately as with most meds in this class they can all effect each person differently.  What happens to one person, may not happen to the next.  I would encourage you to try the few week wait and see esp if the med is helping you  (try to keep this side effect in mind when changing position and when you do remember to do it slowly and give yourself a second before you stand)  Not all meds will effect you this way.  Best Wishes to you
