Abilify withdrawal needs to be very slow. Gradual will win this race,
especially at the end of the Abilify withdrawal process.
Most people can have an Abilify withdrawal with 10% reductions but if a 5%
reduction is needed to avoid the Abilify withdrawal, that
should be done. The last one or two Abilify withdrawal
reductions should only be a 5% reduction.
One important thing to keep in mind while you withdrawal from Abilify; any
returning symptoms can be a Abilify withdrawal side effect
and not a return of symptoms.

Elderly people with psychosis related to dementia (for example, an
inability to perform daily activities as a result of
increased memory loss), treated with antipsychotic medicines
including ABILIFY, are at an increased risk of death
compared to placebo. ABILIFY is not approved for the
treatment of people with dementia-related psychosis (see
Boxed WARNING).
Antidepressants may increase suicidal thoughts or behaviors in some
children, teenagers, and young adults, especially within the
first few months of treatment or when the dose is changed.
Depression and other serious mental illnesses are themselves
associated with an increase in the risk of suicide. Patients
on antidepressants and their families or caregivers should
watch for new or worsening depression symptoms, unusual
changes in behavior, or thoughts of suicide. Such symptoms
should be reported to the patient’s healthcare professional
right away, especially if they are severe or occur suddenly.
ABILIFY is not approved for use in pediatric patients with
depression (see Boxed WARNING).
Contraindication:
Patients should not use ABILIFY if they are allergic to aripiprazole or
any of the ingredients in ABILIFY. Allergic reactions have
ranged from rash, hives and itching to anaphylaxis, which
may include difficulty breathing, tightness in the chest,
and swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue.
Serious side effects may include:
An increased risk of stroke and
mini-stroke have been reported in clinical studies of
elderly people with dementia-related psychosis. Very high
fever, rigid muscles, shaking, confusion, sweating, or
increased heart rate and blood pressure. These may be signs
of a condition called neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS),
a rare but serious side effect which could be fatal.
Uncontrollable movements of face, tongue, or other parts of body, as these
may be signs of a serious condition called tardive
dyskinesia (TD). TD may become permanent and the risk of TD
may increase with the length of treatment and the overall
dose. While TD can develop after taking the medicine at low
doses for short periods, this is much less common. There is
no known treatment for TD, but it may go away partially or
completely if the medicine is stopped.
If you have diabetes, or risk factors for diabetes (for example, obesity,
family history of diabetes), or unexpected increases in
thirst, urination, or hunger, your blood sugar should be
monitored. Increases in blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia),
in some cases serious and associated with coma or death,
have been reported in patients taking ABILIFY and medicines
like it.
Lightheadedness or faintness caused by a sudden change in heart rate and
blood pressure when rising quickly from a sitting or lying
position (orthostatic hypotension) has been reported with
ABILIFY.
Decreases in white blood cells (infection fighting cells) have been
reported in some patients taking antipsychotic agents,
including ABILIFY. Patients with a history of a significant
decrease in white blood cell (WBC) count or who have
experienced a low WBC count due to drug therapy should have
their blood tested and monitored during the first few months
of therapy.
ABILIFY and medicines like it can affect your judgment, thinking, or motor
skills. You should not drive or operate hazardous machinery
until you know how ABILIFY affects you.
Medicines like ABILIFY can impact your body’s ability to reduce body
temperature; you should avoid overheating and dehydration.
ABILIFY and medicines like it have been associated with swallowing
problems (dysphagia). If you had or have swallowing
problems, you should tell your healthcare professional.
Tell your healthcare professional if you have a history of or are at risk
for seizures, or are pregnant or intend to become pregnant.
