I was hallucinating last summer

People seem to ask all the time if they can come off meds after a long period of time. I’m 62 now, and I switched to Abilify last summer. My pdoc started me on 5mg. I started hallucinating and got paranoid again, since consistently being on an AP since 2008.

I’m fine now that my dose was upped to 15mg. I was on 5mg Risperidal if I remember correctly.

I would say the answer to that question is that it’s unique to that person and that person’s situation.
I’m glad your doing better than when you started hallucinating.

Anything below 10mg abilify poses a risk to me symptoms wise. I was on 15mg and stable for a loooong time. Now testing the waters again with 10mg.

I was on Abilify back in 2014 and it made my akithesia so bad that i couldn’t sleep. Anyway I’m glad you are doing better!
