I spent a week at the hospital psyche ward and they determined I was not schizoaffective, rather I'm just bipolar 1. That part makes me feel good, but I was forced to quit Abilify in one day. I have been on Abilify for over 10 years, at various doses, the latest at 30mg/day. Why the doctor didn't taper me down, I haven't a clue.

Here's a list of withdrawal symptoms I can report:

muscular twitches
tinnitus in the ear
diarrhea
worsening depression
really bad restless leg syndrome
fear/anxiety
irritability

You can find withdrawal symptoms of Abilify online, but the doctors say there are no side effects from getting off it. That's a bunch of bull.
