I have taken other antipsychotics in the past and never experienced anything like this.
I have had these issues tapering on low doses of abilify not as low as you though I only went down to five. I never actually broke anything but I was incredibly angry all the time and very irritated over small things. It takes a while to build up in your system...and a while to leave your system too...like a week...strangely I am perfectly fine on 7.5 mg there is something weird about the low doses though. It's like it works differently.
