Wow!
My head was spinning. I was light-headed and had a chronic headache. I'd felt totally depleted, both brain and body. I could not function at all. Confined to bed and much worse if/when trying to stand or sit up.

I brought the dose back up to 4 mg. and feel a bit better. I may be able to hold at 4 mg, we will see in time.

Have you ever withdrawn from Abilify?
If so, what was it like for you?

My pdoc has me stop 30 mg. suddenly due to extreme sleeplessness. I’ve noticed that tears are close to the surface and a big rise in anxiety. I’m sorry you are experiencing difficulties with this. I read your post on ECT and just wanted to give you a hug. I hope you find an answer to your treatment resistant depression soon.
Hugs from:
bizi, Wild Coyote
Thanks for this!
