I’ve been on and off Abilify for years. Much to my surprise, my psychiatrist just took me off a Risperidone / Abilify mix and put me on the lowest dose of Abilify possible … 5.25 mg. Wish me luck!

Thanks @Aziz , Maybe he’s following up on a request to go off antipsychotics last year but at the time he was reluctant. 5.25 mg is basically nothing.

Did you get psychotic off meds before?

I get the Abilify needle every 3 weeks.

Other than having a short attention span…oh, wait…I forgot what I was going to say. :wink:

Seems like a weird dosage size…why not 5mg instead of 5.25mg. How much of a difference does .25 make?

No @Aziz , I’ve been on antipsychotics every day since being diagnosed some 12 years ago or so.

Ok so its worth a try. For me I stopped my meds but was hospitalized 1-2y later.

Risperidal was making my negative symptoms worse and I asked him if I could drop Risperdal so I just went down to a trickle dose of Abilify. I sure hope the negatives are better.
