SugarMagnolia Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I recently stopped taking Abilify because I was experiencing emotional blunting. It has been a little over a week and I still feel the same. Has any one else quit taking the drug for the same reason? How long was it before you started to feel normal again?

Guest Recluse Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Abilify has a very long half-life, so it takes time to clear out of your system. My best guess is that at between two and three weeks, depending on your metabolism, it should be completely flushed, but it's only a guess, and your mileage may vary.

kitthekitten128 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I quit Abilify not for that reason but because it made me too tired. I think it does take awhile to get out of your system, I am still feeling the effects of it. I got really sick when I first came off of it (no appetite, couldn't sleep). I am starting to feel normal (its been a few weeks) but I was on a very low dosage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Yes, abilify does have a long half life, so a week probably won't be long enough. Things should definitely return to normal though. Anna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
