I was on Abilify from 2019-December 2025. After multiple failed tries tapering off, I finally successfully tapered off and took my last dose at the end of November 2025. Now, I am planning on tapering off Lithium Carbonate. My goal is to be drug free.

Thank you Catina for your warm welcome! No, I do not have a taper plan in place yet. I do have a functional psychiatrist locally, so I’m going to ask his advice. Elizabeth

That's good to hear! Are they already familiar with Hyperbolic tapering? We're happy to support you through your upcoming taper. 🙂
