A member asked:

Can i go through withdrawal symptoms if i immediately stop taking lithium 300mg and abilify (aripiprazole) 5mg both once per day? and if so, what are they?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: I think it unlikely u would experience withdrawal by discontinuing 5 mg of Abilify (aripiprazole) and 300 mg of lithium. My biggest concern would be a return or worsening of whatever conditions these were intended to treat. Please speak to your doctor before stopping your meds.
