Coming off the Abilify...

Okay, back to why I started the blog.

So far, coming off of the Abilify has been a whirlwind. Don't forget that I am combining it with the introduction of the Lexapro. The first couple of days I felt almost normal, but now that I am down from 10mg to 2.5mg I am starting to get really depressed, with light undertones of the fear from before. In short: it sucks. I'm sleeping about 70% of the day, have no energy the hours that I am awake, no desire to do anything, it's horrible. I'm hoping it doesn't last very long. Withdrawals can only last so long after all...

All I can say is thank goodness for the Lexapro. I'm scared to think what this would be like if I was going through the withdrawals all on their own.

I'm scared in general. I have to keep reminding myself minute to minute that this isn't me, that this isn't my life, but that hopefully very soon I will get me and my life back, and that my husband will get me back too...
