Myfranz,
I was able to stop abilify w/o any effect (except relief). I'm not BP and have never experienced mania. I went from 10 to 5, to 2, then 0, with about 10 day lengths between decreases. That's just my experience. It was not a good med for me-- flattening.
Take it slow and be flexible. It's easier to avoid a crisis than pull ones self out of one. Have a plan with you pdoc, and a backup plan.
Be safe, and good luck,
fb
