i guess is good you taper abilify, but isnt it too fast? I heard the maxxium speed was like 12,5%. How are you feeling

Abilify — 300 mg Maintena — 7 years but with different dosage — planning taper | other — EN delorazepam medication: current dose 1 mg when needed — 2 years — holding | other — Akineton - 2 mg — 5 months — holding | with clinician

Thanks! Since abilify has a hyperbolic curve, receptor occupancy drops very little at higher doses. Going from 10mg to 7.5mg shouldn't be too drastic compared to when you get down to the really low numbers. (2-3mg). Feeling normal so far (except mild benzo withdrawal), but I'll definitely slow it down later on.

Don't forget to follow this person. He was on 15 mg of abilify for 6 years, and he has been tapering off for 2 years and is still tapering.

image source: https://psychiatryonline.org/doi/10.1176/appi.ajp.2007.06091479 Take a look at this photo showing the hyperbolic curve of abilify. Below 5 mg, we need to be extremely careful! You can read about hyperbolic tapering in the resources section on TaperCommunity.
