I was tapered off by ¼ very two weeks. Had been on one mg for 20 years due to GAD & insomnia. Doc added abilify as I was tapering. I ultimately wound up in a full blown panic attack that lasted a couple of weeks until my primary added ½ mg klonipin back. In the meantime, I found a psychiatrist who diagnosed me with panic disorder and severe anxiety, etc., and promptly put me right back on the one mg and advised me not to take abilify, which I had already stopped when the panic became so terrible. Finally, the panic abated. It was the worst experience of my life! I was terrified of my own 5 lb pups that I had for eight years. I was so jumpy! Couldn’t sleep and I couldn’t drive. It was horrendous. This was not my first experience being messed up by a doc’s prescription, but it was certainly worse than the first time! I’ve personally found private psychiatrist to be superior to PCP’s or community MH centers.
