Common Questions and Answers about Abilify withdrawal how long

abilify

Avatar f tn My question is if excessive sweating is a withdrawal side effect that anyone here has experienced and if so how long does this last? It’s really bad and I keep taking showers but I’m sweating so bad under my arms. It is disgusting. Also how long do Abilify withdrawals last? I’ve been taking the med for 3 months now starting out at 5mgs and have been on 15mgs for about a month now. I’m having mood swings (currently feeling good though with lots of energy) but I’m guessing this can be expected.
Avatar f tn I have been experiencing upset stomach and headaches since I have stopped abilify. Does anyone know how long withdrawal symptoms last?
Avatar f tn Oh god. Geodon has horrible withdrawal symptoms for most people who take it even after a short period of time. I hear it's like trying to come off of hard drugs. If you're lucky you won't have any withdrawal but I'm guessing you are by the nature of your question by asking how long your withdrawal should last. I unfortunately can't answer how long it will last from personal experience but I've heard it can last four weeks.
Avatar f tn Just wondering is it because of coming of the olanzipine. How long do withdrawal symptoms last? Has anyone else had the same problem coming off olanzipine?
Avatar f tn I need to know if abilify decreases methadone? Has anyone been on these two meds at the same time? Can you tell me how it made you feel? I was prescribed abilify but haven't started it yet because I am unsure of the interaction. Some say it causes withdrawal for the methadone and some say it increases methadone, talk about confusing!! Please tell me your experience or opinion.
1564087 tn?1308947518 I've been on effexor xr for years, and recently added abilify. I've been diagnosed with major depression and generalized anxiety, but I think I have bipolar II due to episodes of hypomania. Anyway, I haven't been on abilify very long (a month or so), but I have not noticed any side effects. Possibly excitability, but I am not sure. I switched my dose from the prescribed qhs to qam.
1030383 tn?1338460785 I'm withdrawing from Zyprexa, Abilify, Ativan and sertraline. It's been three weeks and I've had terrible nausea, stomach pain, fatigue, and generally not feeling good. How long will this last? And, any ideas on how to deal with mania since I can't just "knock myself out" like usual? I need to get enough sleep to stay out of the hospital!
Avatar f tn Having racing thoughts, anxiety, mood swings, bone pain and sweats. From what I’ve read, this is Abilify withdrawal. Do I just have to feel awful until Lamictal dose is high enough to be therapeutic? Thanks!!
2190999 tn?1504988891 I know. Some of my meds are copayment of $300 pr month. With good coverage. It's going to depend on if you're on other meds too, & how long,what dose you were on the Abilify.
Avatar m tn t make you more anxious. Three days is just not long enough to know what is going on. Let your doc know how you feel. Post/vent whenever you feel like it. We are here 24/7. Your virtual support group.
447130 tn?1225470866 I just went back on Abilify since Geodon sent me into another world. I took it before and it worked but I gained weight so they took me off. I can't remember how long it was before it started to make a dent in my BP. I've been manic and this is the 1st time this has happened. Maybe it was the meds? I'm scared because I'm technically not medicated until the Abilify kicks in. Anyone know from experience?
Avatar f tn I'm so sorry for what you're going through. Couldn't the doc have just put you back on your prior dose? Cold turkey from Effexor is just NOT a good idea! I would recommend talking to your doctor ASAP! Let us know how it goes!
Avatar f tn I've been out of work and am no longer able to afford my abilify and effexor. I've slowly stopped taking both to the point that I am no longer taking them. However yesturday I got a low grade headache and started vomitting. At first I thought it was a flu but now feel it's withdrawal from effexor. T oday I was sick to my stomach and had a headache,but I also had my tongue in such pain I could barely eat. Is this symptoms of withdrawal from effexor?
Avatar f tn The thing they usually do is reduce the dose and wait until withdrawal symptoms go away and then reduce it some more.
Avatar n tn So I have a question related to the mix of antidepressants= For the last 18 months the doc added 50 mg's of topiramate and Abilify to a very old mix of sertraline 200mg and 2 mg of Lorazepham daily.. I had stopped functioning well and quit taking the new additional two scripts two weeks ago now it's like I have bugs in the LEFT side of my face and it's making me worried and sore-Is there a bad mix of the four together? How long until this tingling wears off?
Avatar f tn I dont think Abilify works for depression alone. I ran out of my effexor xr (antidepressant) and only took my abilify and was a real mess for a week.. It was as if i werent taking anything. The abilify doesnt work alone in my case. Its only a booster pill, so to speak. I was tearful and restless without my antidepressant. However that could have been withdrawal or something.
Avatar n tn Not to long ago I felt really depressed and went home one day and started taking the abilify and got presecribed abilify, I took it everday for a while but was still smoking. I stopped taking it again and I was depressed just not that many days ago. Now I dont feel depressed but emotionless. I dont care about anything, things that use to depress me dont anymore and I have no wants and cant seem to get excited about anything. I think about the fact that i cant seem to feel anything all the time.
1880256 tn?1322569908 How long have you been taking 100mg of Zoloft?
9704730 tn?1405741284 I am finishing my 3rd day clean from 15 years of being chained to tramadol. This is the hardest thing I have ever done. How long does this pain from withdrawal last? ?? I am scared of figuring out how to live and function without this drug. I have been on it so long I don't remember how I was without it.
202665 tn?1248806733 they have the info on all meds I believe on there half life u can look up and im not sure but double that and that should be how long it lasts in your system. the half life is how much is been processed by your liver I think. I'll do some research and get back later on. Hope everything goes well for u. and thanks for everything you do for are country!
Avatar f tn Do not mess with benzo withdrawal on your own...you can have serious withdrawal issues like seizures and worse. I agree not without a doctor supervising would I do this. Be careful really. Usually they taper you off that stuff real real slow.
Avatar f tn m still getting the cold sweats and not sleeping and just all around miserable. The question is How long does it take to get past this? My doctor told me I have an extra sensitivity to these pain killers cause most people require a lot more than I was taking to become addicted. I'm 56, going through menopause. I'm supposed to be having hot flashes not cold sweats lol Even now my hands are clammy and I am cold. I could sure use an encouraging word.
