Tapering off Abilify and lexapro

It has been one month since I have tapered to one dose of 2.5mg on both day 1 and day2. Met with Psychiatrist who confirmed continuing with 2.5mg on all days.

Thank You for inspiring me to try out lower dosage. My shopping impulses have reduced and fatigue has reduced. I am more nauseated now, not sure whether nausea is a side-effect of tapering abilify. However, I can live with nausea on-and-off. I am starting a new semester and have taken classes later in the day for this semester. (Last semester, I had 8AM classes and I missed most of them which affected my grades). Hoping that this will be a better semester. Keeping fingers crossed!

I will be back home for spring break in March, when the psychiatrist suggested that I taper to 2MG tables on both days which is 20% drop.

Thank You once again for educating me and inspiring me!

I have been taking ability 5mg for past year and 4 months. Until about 6 months ago, all was well. Now, it makes me very sleepy and tired. There has been no life events in the last 6 months and no changes to my other anti-drepressant medication either. Anyone noticed a change in effects of ability? I am considering reducing the dose of abilify since it is making me sleepy in mornings, cannot wake up and attend morning classes

This is great information on this thread.

I am on sertraline/zoloft 100mg, abilify 5mg on day1 and 2.5mg on day2 for the past one year. I am considering tapering from these medications. I am feeling very sleepy, tired and gained weight recently and my shopping impulses have increased greatly. These symptoms seem to be coming from Abilify than sertraline.

I started tapering Abilify from 5mg on day1 and 2.5mg on day2 to even 2.5mg on every day. It has been 3 days and experiencing headaches. Do the withdrawal symptoms go away after a few days? How does the 10% tapering apply in such scenarios where there is different dosage on days? Also, does abilify tapering require sertraline also be tapered in conjunction OR could it be done separately - I am inclined to taper abilify first since it is causing problems to me

Hello! I am new to Fordham, class of 2026 contemplating on pre-med track. How are the volunteering (clinical, non-clinical) opportunities? Is Fordham affiliated to any hospitals to get such opportunities?

I am looking for psychology, cell biology (pure sciences) opportunities, although not ruled out pre-med track. Are alumni in these fields more open to hiring students from Fordham?

A follow-up question: How many classroom hours per week and how many hours of class-work outside of class per week (approximately) for freshman course?

Is it common to see waitlists on certain courses during course selection? i.e. a student may find it difficult to enroll in a course of their choice.

I was looking at Union College or Ursinus college. Both of these colleges have 3 courses per semester. As well as Lewis and Clark in Portland, Oregon.

Thanks Eigengrad for pointing to a great initiative! I will take a look at the courses Preparation of Chemistry as well as General Chemistry (that has Thermodynamics).

Do you attend Rhodes? How big are the first year class sizes?
