It’s been a full week.
Things I have noticed:
– a little fatigued
– sometimes a little irritable
– still leg bouncing
– working through an anxiety spike is challenging
I can say that’s been all so far. It’s really not that bad all things considered. I think the leg bouncing is more of a comfort mechanism more than anything, so that’s not such a big deal.
Had a little moment yesterday where I worked my way through an anxiety spike. I did it without chewing the skin around my fingernails, so that was a win for sure.
I’m letting myself feel the feelings, and talking my way through them, instead of trying to suppress everything like I used to do. Thankful for the tips therapy has provided in that regard.
This will be my last week on the lower dose, then I will be completely off Abilify. I will be on vacation for the end of the med, which is good, in case things go a little wonky.
Will keep you all in the loop once I totally come off and let you know how I am doing.
Fingers crossed the symptoms stay as they have been!
Until next time.
