Yes, V'rie
In that book Your Drug May Be Your Problem it is super emphasized about how all of these meds must be tapered of and also started very gradually

Cheryl. did the neuro start him on a high dose of the Abilify or was it low and then to work up
that seems to be as important as tapering down slowly



I really have heard from a number of people with postive reports on Abilify so hopefully this will be ok for him, but, as our own experience showed, different people react differently to these meds and it often is trial and error to find the right one........

if Luke decides he doesnt want the Abilify tho, PLEASE do withdraw it slowly.
I am really surprised the neuro didnt do that with the clonidine..........even if it was a low dose.

sure hope Luke is feeling better today.
