Suggest Remedy For Side Effects Post Withdrawal From Abilify
I have recently tapered off of abilify. Since I stopped taking 2mg a day I have been suffering with severe debilitating headaches, lethargy, loss of appetite, excessive sleeping, and getting more anxiety and depressed. Due to the high price of this prescription, even with insurance is not attainable financially. Are there other medications in this class that have the same effect, but are less pricey?
