I was glad to be off of abilify. Never want to take it again. And have not in about 7 years. Same with geodon and risperdal. The only APs I would say I'm addicted to are the ones that work. Zyprexa and perphenazine. I've also tried many other psychotropics that I had no problem stoping, usually cold turky. Depakote, lamictal, remeron, celexa, prozac... Not low doses either. I just can't get off zyprexa. But I knew it was the one right from the begining. I responded right away and it totaly cured me. Perphenazine just seems to be a good addition. I was as high as 36 mg now 24mg. Every time I try to stop it I get realy iratable. And when off zyprexa I totaly lose my sanity. Can't function, get out of the house, psychotic, dulusional, etc.. and can't work. I used to be angry all the time before perphenazine, when I just took zyprexa, but I could function.
Anyways I don't know why you would be addicted to these meds. I've totaly stoped taking zyprexa for months at a time and not withdraws, I just go crazy again. till I go back on it. I've been taking it for 17 years now. My withdraw is relapse. nothing physical. Just can't eat or sleep. Which I could not do before taking zyprexa.
I took abilify 3 separate times. All of them were horable. my doc had me convinced that zyprexa was horrable, because I was fat. So I kept trying to give abilify a try, this is my both of my docs. I will admit there was something nice about it that made me want to take little peices till I was off it . but the drug was horrable, so much that I could not function and I wanted off it. Every time I stoped abilify I went into some type of withdraw. Where felt worse than when I was taking the abilify. that usualy went away after a long time, depending on how long I took the abilify.
