Yeah, I would argue that the only way that my mind has been affected by the voices that I hear is that I have poor memory, especially when I have more psychotic experience

Zoe if you still hear nasty voices it’s not the right time to taper.

2.5mg is my normal dose.
I called 111 today they said that i should stay on 2.5mg for now.
Because ive been adjusting my dose too much.
They even said if im on verge of panic attack from terror n think i need to go a n e althou terror delusions abiut a n e, i shud still not increase dose and just go a n e.
There are but im not much of a talker 
Thankyou though.

Only if you feel comfortable to share?
yeah its just some basic things. but i advice you to go to a group of voice hearers the things i did should not be done alone.
but its basically writing down the voices and going into dialog with them. then you touch the trauma which makes you psychotic.

most of them are cool people, you can just chill and connect

Would you think that due to this, if my body gets used to 2.5mg abilify over the years and re balances (perhaps) does this mean if i later try to come off it, when im more psychologically stable, that that might then become a bad idea? Eg. Dopamine supersensitivity rebound could be way too catastrophic ?
You know Zoe I got the Idea of taking all of my pills once instead of twice each day. Let me tell you I came into a very dark manic place some days ago. I’m back on my 200 mg Seroquel x 2 each day. I’ve really done a lot of tapering the past 10 years and have now realized that the time of tapering is over.
I thought like you that my negatve symptoms would improve. But even if they do so. It’s not worth getting psychotic or manic instead.

Oh really; do you not think that it is worth coming off medication one day?
That is interesting
Actually, I do not know, nobody knows really. That is the beauty of it. At best with these drugs you get to test yourself what happens when you change dose or stop using them. With these drugs you are a guinea pig, like it or not. But I understand it is a tough choice between positive symptoms and risks with drugs. In any case I am no doctor.
Then again those partial agonist, like abilify might be easier on the brain overall. Would be fun to see the evidence either way. But the thing is that these drugs are just band-aids over the real issues deep in the brain. You would have to use drugs like spg-302 or Evenamide or some such to attack the disease at source and regenerate damage done.
