> My pdoc wants me to titrate off of Abilify. She said just stop taking it...tried and Wow! bad reaction. She wants me to try again. Any easier way to do this? I only take 2.5 once a day.
Abilify has a long duration of action. This means that you can taper off Abilify by increasing the interval between doses. Get a script for some 2mg tablets. Initially, reduce to 2mg once daily. You could then reduce to 2mg on five days per week......then to 2mg on alternate days..... and so on. Go slowly at the pace which best suits you. Be guided by how you feel - don't rush.
