Abilify Withdrawal Is Not For The Weak

[lemonandcapers]

Two months ago, it felt like a switch flipped in my brain. Almost like someone hit the self-destruct button on me and set me free. And I was going to carry out a plan I had abandoned months prior.

Then, I had a PTSD episode at my parents' house and became too terrified to do anything including going through with my plan.

I finally was able to get a refill of my Abilify, and I took it after a month of not taking it. My active SI disappeared, and while I continue to have passive ideation, it has returned to what it was before.

I had a similar episode earlier in the year and did not connect the dots until now. Apparently Abilify can cause SI if you withdraw off of it.

Be careful out there!

Same here. I was 17 and they switched me after 2 months of taking it consistently. I was suicidal 24/7 and had intense panic attacks.
