A member asked:
Hi i want to stop aristata injection asked my doctor and he said that i just stop coming in to take it. i thought there was a way to taper off of the injection, is there a way to do that safely?

The injected aristata is an extended released formula. When you stop taking it the medication will be eliminated slowly so you should not worry about withdrawal symptoms.

If the question is about what to expect after stopping aripiprazole or Aristada injections, symptoms that prompted addition of above drug might come back, you should discuss with your psychiatrist options and/or alternatives.
