Not a full taper. Noooooooooooo...not yet.
I'm on 30 Abilify. I also take: 1200 Trileptal, 100 Lamictal, 400 Wellbutrin SR, and low dose PRN neurontin, rarely. I used to need PRN risperdal now and then, but the wellbutrin somehow cleared up a lot of the agitation and even some of the low grade hallucinations. Weird, huh?
I think I'd like to get down to 15/Abilify. I think I'd be able to concentrate better and also the TD risk would be lower.
The next pill down from 30 is 20, and that's a big taper down.
In terms of symptoms and stability, how do you know when you can reduce your AP/AAP? Keep in mind, I go to a community mental health clinic. They won't reduce unless I bring it up, cuz a lot of what they do is put people in chemical straight jackets. Since my people are behind me, I have more leeway than I would otherwise...its always good to be white, male, and have upper middle/upper class people behind you, am I right? Right.
So...yeah...when can I safely reduce, you think?
