I've been taking 10mg of Abilify for about three years. It's combined with lexapro. I've had enough of it as I feel I don't need it anymore. I've been learning how to deal with things in other ways. I have a tremendous amout of support from my famiy and talk about things that are bothering me. Wih that being said, three weeks ago I stopped cold turkey. I actually feel good. Some withdrawls symptoms were annoying. Such as an uncomfortable upset stomach. However, not really bad. I took some Mylantha and he helped. Also, an annoying headache that was controlled with some motrin. The other symptons that I read about didn't happen to me. I'm changing my diet, keeping hydrated, keeping busy. So far so good. Hope this helps anyone reading this. Keep me posted.

Hello, Abili! How are you?

The best thing to do would be to consult your doctor, so they can help you set up a proper tapering schedule.

If you just suddenly stop taking it, without tapering, it may cause some withdrawal effects, which the FDA lists as possibly including nausea, fever, chills, diarrhea, rebound depression and rebound anxiety.

Is there anything else I can help with?
