Ive been weaning myself of haldol/abilify combo from prob 2 months. Startin to feel weird. Startin.m to feel paranoid. I dont wanna give in. I dont wanna commit to finding a new psych after mine left. I just want to be done with drs. Idk if i can take it tho.
I would ask people around you if they have noticed any changes in you. Changes in your behavior or what you talk about or your mood or any other changes… It might tell you if you’re giving off any signs of a relapse. Sometimes other people can see stuff about us that we can’t see in ourselves.

I was in the same situation at the beginning of the year. Increasing paranoia and strange ideas. Didnt want to go back on full dose of meds. Ended up having a psychotic break a couple months later. Do what you will, but but I personally would never go down that path again.

I doubt anyones noticed. I spend almost all my time alone and keep my thoughts to myself. Its not bad enough to be noticable yet. It was months ago but not yet.

I’m thinking of halving my dose. It’s very tempting for me to do that right now but I’m currently not emotionally and mentally strong so I will wait.
I hope you are in a sort of strong place because that can sometimes help with med reduction.
Hopefully it will work out with the med reduction
I also hate my abilify.
Which is why I nearly started the reduction last week already but then I changed my mind to delay that.
Do you have access to antipsychotics if you relapse?
Have you ever tried being on abilify on its own? Maybe you’d feel less zombied

I liked the abilify mixed with haldol but alone its not enough. I got over 5 months refills left of abilify. But its a low dose. Id take more if i had it but i dont like to talk to people so i really dont wanna go to a doc again

Oh right. That’s kind of challenging with the communication issue. Hmm I don’t know what to suggest, sorry.
Good luck nevertheless!
