atm i am taking 2.5 mg.
i will bring it down to 1.25mg on 11 august when i get my benefits
and then maybe 0mg after 6 months or 12 months idk
I do not like the side effects
I do not recommend this to all people at all. it is very risky and could be dangerous
It is just that i really can barely survive these days
Sounds good. My side effects are horrendous… Memory loss, high prolactin, bad skin, weight gain, exhaustion, thirst, bad eyesight, anxiety, hypersexuality, prolactinomas, tiredness in the morning and the list goes on. I am not allowed to come off mine sadly
Nobody likes the side effects, but it’s better than psychosis. That’s the tradeoff. Be careful Zoe.
Thanks @Mr_Hope im not entirely sure yet if i do this
Dang sorry to hear this i hope you can find peace
What are you taking?
I am on abilify 2.5 mg atm. Tbh it is risky because i am not stable.
Good luck zoe. I know its possible to live with certain kinds of psychosis, but you did seem to be struggling a bit before your recent increase. I hope you can find ways to manage.
Thankyou @Schizbro really kind of you. 
I’ve thought of doing this too. Not sure it will be good tho .
Hmmm idk.
What does your pdoc say
Wow 2.5mg? Thats such a low dose. I was told by pdocs that anything under 10mg of abilify wont really help with protecting from psychosis. How are you going on the 2.5?
Shes helping me reduce slowly. I wanted to cut them but not without help …
Anyways…hope your experiment works !!!
I would love to try and get off my long term med with the help of my p/doc but I have tried it a few times unsuccessfully, I only take a low dose but it does a lot for me.(I think) I keep swinging between stopping meds and staying on them, its a real push-pull thing.
Yea it is low but does not feel it. Especially my teeth are decaying from hyperprolactinamia
Thankyou it wont be now though maybe later.
I know how you feel. Same here i tried in 2018 and 2022 without success.
how is that possible, abilify lowers prolactine
It does in some cases raise prolactin. My gp told me. Maybe it is more rare.
Thanks for staying on forum ..
