Hi, I'm ClaudiusMarkoro

I'm a 21 year old guy who is in a pretty rough spot in life right now, made even worse by my medication. I've been on it for 1 month so far, and started tapering recently. I came here looking for guidance and support.

Abilify — 5mg — 1 month — actively tapering | without clinician
