14th Abilify Update - WBC / Neutrophils are rising again
August 14, 2026··
taper update
Quick update on my CBC test results!
On my previous test, my overall WBC count and platelets were both near borderline low. The new report shows that my WBC is better now and neutrophils are rising again. My platelets are also near borderline low still, but they’ve climbed up slightly by 2 points.
Even if some of it was just a normal fluctuation, it dropped a bit too much which is why I suspect abilify might have been causing some of the issue. It seems like lowering my dose is helping things head back in the right direction.
