5th Abilify Update - Feeling Okay
July 13, 2026··
taper update
I got some blood tests done today (fasting glucose and 3-month HbA1c, lipid panel and CBC with auto differential) because I've been feeling sick more often, especially after walking. I suspect my white blood cell count might be low because I had EPS + new terrible, unusual fatigue—but I actually felt better after taking an antibiotic for a dental infection. I am currently on 7.5mg of abilify using the water suspension method, which I've been taking for the last 2 days.

Glad the antibiotic is helping! having an infection on top of withdrawal is enough to throw things out of whack. Hoping it asses soon!
