How slow must one withdraw from abilify (aripiprazole) in order to prevent long term side effects and withdrawal effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Best if you talk w/: Your prescribing dr should know your plan and provide advice and monitoring. But if you must do it yourseld - do it w/ great patience. Step down week by week 5 mg. This may even be too fast, so if you notice problems, slow it more for a week. It is advised that you do not decide to use Abilify (aripiprazole) again in the future - so be pretty sure about this. http://waysandhow.com/how-to-stop-taking-abilify.
