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.

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.
