i went from 15 mg abilify to 10 mg to 7.5 mg to 5mg to 2.5mg to 0mg…
hmmm,I am not sure, depends for me…if I relapse third time and still fine to just go back on 2.5 mg abilify, I may just try one last time but THEN i might surrender to the ‘powers’ of aripiprazole
yea i feel fine but i am not completely back to the way i felt before.
also i can’t exercise properly.
also i think my hair might still be thinning (i am a female)
also i wonder what other long term effects might slowly be developing on this medication, internally,
i feel i am still walking through mud a bit in everything i do
Started in February 2020 and then happened again in February 2021 after be off of aripiprazole for five months. Still diagnosed with non organic psychosis. First time was delusional for two weeks and second 6 weeks both while on medication.
No sorry, was put on antipsychotics at the start of each episode.
The first episode spiralled over the course of a week after taking cocaine that had spice in it. If hadn’t done drugs that night I would have probably been okay.
2016, first episode, about 8 months long. as soon as i landed in the hospital, the episode stopped!, so they did not medicate me, and then a week later out of the hospital i relapsed again for a week
before they medicated me and it took one to two months to get ‘back to normal’
2018 i was off meds for 8 months or so. i relapsed was ill for two to three weeks before they re medicated me and it took one to two weeks to ‘get back to normal’
