In like 10 days withdrawal hit me I thought my joints will brake if I try walking, mood swings, panic, anxiety etc. etc. I instantly took 10 mg it all went away except tinnitus. Then with weekly decreasements in dosage 10mg week 7.5mg week 5mg week 2-3mg 10 days I tried quitting again. Despite going back on Abilify tinnitus remains, quiting again didn't increase its strenght. There is a very small chance I have long lasting infection from cold (didn't investigate that yet, I praise lord it would be that), but I assume it is from first time withdrawal, can anybody share some experiences or insights on this? Can this be so called withdrawal psychosis or supersensitivity? Any outcome prognosis.
Thanks in advance
I'm sorry you're going through that. Ive never heard of tinnitus as a withdrawal symptom. I would guess it more likely you have an inner ear issue. Have you been taking aspirin?
