Sorry to hear this! I'm glad you were able to reach some stability. You may need to hold where you're at and then taper more slowly next time. https://taper.community/drugs/abilify https://taper.community/resources/blog/aripiprazole-abilify-withdrawal-guide https://taper.community/resources/blog/hyperbolic-tapering-explained Keep us updated on how things are going for you. 🌸

Okay, sounds good. It's best to wait if we're undergoing some stress. You can always reduce by a lesser amount too just to see how you react. Keep us updated!
