Sorry I didn't answer for so long--I haven't been frequenting the new withdrawal board.
I haven't really been on large enough doses for a long enough time to judge withdrawal reactions from Abilify. IN general, with the atypical antipsychotics I have tried I did not get withdrawal symptoms really--just loss of therapeutic benefit.
I would think the symptoms would be different than say Lexapro, simply because the mode of action is so different. I have not for instance heard people complaining of the "brain zaps" going off antipsychotics.
But again, the amounts I was on I wouldnt call my experience all that big in this arena. Also, in general I seem to be less plagued by withdrawal problems than some other people.....
