gabapentin helped me reduce my abilify dosage. im not a big gabapentin fan, but...for maybe a month or so, dosing up w/ gabapentin evened things out after the abilify dosage was cut by 10mgs.
i seem to recall reading a shrink's website in which she wrote about switching patients on higher potency neuroleptics over to lower potency drugs and tapering slowly off the lower potency drug. i don't know if id go for it, personally, but itd probably be easier to do a slow taper off, say, seroquel or even a low(ish) dose of good ole Thorazine than it would be to step down slowly off Abilify.
