Hi misann,

 

I hope you didn't suddenly discontinue the Abilify on your own without the psychiatrist first tapering you off and onto another drug.  The psychosis could return.

 

If your doctor feels that could be a side effect, go with that.  Also, what I like to do is go to my local, reputable pharmacist, and he will bring up the side effects on the computer and tell me if what I'm experiencing is a side effect.

 

Regards,

Christina
