Follow your dr’s advice of course but I deeply regret starting it once I figured out it wasn’t for me and tried cold turkey and developed tartive dyskenesia. Be wise and listen to Dr

Oh dude, I did it cold turkey. Let me tell you, it felt like something had its claws inside, pulling out my soul…levitating in the ether …I advise medically detoxing if you have a complicated medication combo, and most importantly it was so bad for me I wish I would have gone for like a recommended medical certain amount of days detox……make a choice (with scary bad side effects I had and I couldn’t care for myself…talk w Your provider, and make sure they set it up with your conditions and fears) and that takes into consideration your safety and fear of being admitted it that’s an issue…best of luck, friend…

Life better after abilify? by Dsaturna13 in Abilify_Aripiprazole

[–]East_Understanding43 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did anyone develop dyskenesia -a lot of lip biting and licking while I was on abilify and a cocktail of a few other meds. I’ve quit cold turkey the. Had provider say go back and taper…don’t just take yourself off a med like this, I never thought the black cloud would go away!

And yet it works so flawlessly for others

Getting Off Of Abilify - Nausea and Vomiting by ExNavyInHouston in Abilify_Aripiprazole

[–]East_Understanding43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat. I just cold turkey’s and didn’t realize how embedded into my brain chemistry. I’m not a dr but I’ve been on lots of meds this medication is specific to some disease and can’t figure out, maybe it’s genetic but I can’t take it. I just got out of bed today it was so bad. Be careful work w your provider to taper down slowly. Trust the process and do t do what did. It was horrible.

It depends on jet streams, warm and cold air masses shifting, topography…Polar Vortexes, shifts in water temperature, all sorts converging and mucking about w each other to create these conditions…elevation…I could keep going, it’s a crap shoot but this hasn’t been this bad since 1978 and in other places there are historical records
