I am getting off the abilify shot and do far so good .maybe because it's a shot it slowly leaves my system or maybe withdrawal hasn't really began yet
But whenever I get fleeting racing thoughts and music ect in my brain is realize how quiet it was on the med and I begin missing my own brain I want the noise back I want to experience the seasons of my mind again Is that crazy? Time will tell if I will regret it is guess

It doesn't sound crazy at all. I hate it when meds dampen 'me'. Time off the shot may be helpful in letting you see how you really are going. On the other hand if you find yourself getting out of control symptoms then it may be best to have the shot again. Hopefully it won't get to that. Just be careful and observant.

i'd love to be able to restore my brain back to a time when it actually worked. i hate having to write everything down, and if i don't- worrying that i'll just forget it (which is usually the case when people tell me stuff)

I like how you say you 'want to experience the seasons of your mind again.' I can definitely relate, I so want to get back the old me without all of the side effects of the meds. I lower doses myself every so often -and still and all, I also remember when the 'flat' summer can turn into an ugly, cold, damp winter or a manic-psychotic spring when unmedicated.
You're brave to do this, and I wish you the best of luck. As Wander says, be observant, and do what needs to be done (call pdoc, etc.) if you feel symptoms coming on, but I hope for you that that isn't needed. Take good care and be careful if you start not feeling well

Please be watchful. I'm wishing you the best of luck and good experiences. Keep posting and letting us know how it is going. Have you done anything special in perpetration of going med free?
