One person claimed his pharmacist said it is gone from your system in 19 days so you should be at such low levels now that it is not affecting you.Check with your pharmacist though
Generally, when a doctor starts pulling out the samples you're probably getting a drug still under patent, often a newer drug the doctor knows less about than older ones with a long history of use, that the sales rep from the pharmaceutical company gave him. Further, if a doctor's office is slow to refill prescriptions, it probably means the doctor runs a sloppy office -- and doctors are notorious for this, they're terrible managers and often afraid of their office staff! Right now, if you feel you're in withdrawal, tell the office manager or leave a message on the doctor's answering machine and mention that you might end up in the emergency room -- not good for the doctor's reputation and raises the fear of malpractice suits. Unfortunately, you only have two options here -- wait it out and hope it goes away quickly or go back on it at the last dose at which you felt fine and taper off properly. When this passes, find a new psychiatrist.
I'm going through this right now. It's horrible..how long does it take for you to stop withdrawing? I feel like I'm going crazy.
Maybe there is a generic version available?
I have spent 3 years on Abilify and the last year or so on Rexulti. Taken as an add on to my antidepressant. This past week I accidentally stumbled on a link regarding the use of these two medications and excessive gambling. Unfortunately I suffered great losses from gambling while on this medication. I was instructed by the dr to cut the dose in half and taper off that way. Because I am terrified to continue to gamble I stopped cold turkey. It’s day 3 of the withdrawal I am prettty anxious right now but atleast I’m not gambling. Has anyone else had the terrible experience on either drug?
