I am a newbie to withdrawing not only from 15mg/day of Abilify but 400 mg/day Bupropion and Ridalin. Almost 7 days now. So far I am experiencing some anxiety and exhaustion. I haven't been able to stay at work this week due to lack on concentration and varied exhaustion. I decided to stop taking the meds because I miss the highs I had with bipolar. I used to be very organized, highly energized and very excited about things. Since I started taking the meds 5 years ago, I have felt very flat with no personality. Trips to Europe every year do not even excite me anymore. :-( I feel like with age and maturity now that I may be able to handle not taking the meds - keeping in my mind that it is all in my mind and that everything is really fine. Any additional posts as to symptoms I may experience and how long they will last? Anyone going through the same issues?
