"Got down on 2.5 and got an psychotic episode. Managed to stop it with 3 days of 15mg. Now yesterday i started 7.5. im stable, working etc. But i dont think im ok yet." — @SalaamSorry 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. 🌸
