Reasons to Consider Abilify Tapering
Because Abilify is documented to carry certain long term and life-altering altercations as well as a host of less serious side effects, you might want to think about tapering your use of Abilify. While medications like Abilify tend to moderate and relieve certain symptoms, they rarely provide a cure for the condition itself. While non-drug-related treatment options may not provide as immediate and acute symptom relief, these alternative options could eventually lead to real improvement.
Abilify Tapering and Weaning Process
If you are considering discontinuing your use of Abilify to treat your symptoms, it’s important to remember that you should never stop taking this medication all at once. Discontinuing use of Abilify should also be done gradually, while slowly tapering and reducing your dosage. Tapering is an important step because it will limit the withdrawal symptoms you might otherwise experience. Because Abilify is a dopamine blocker, abruptly discontinuing use of Abilify causes dopamine to suddenly be released into the system in amounts the body and brain are not used to processing.
This causes the system to become overloaded, which could lead to manic episodes, hallucinations, or other symptoms that may or may not have been present before you started taking the drug. For this reason, the medical recommendation is to gradually taper the use of any antipsychotic medications when attempting to discontinue use.
