Headache After Reducing Abilify Dosage. Taking Atenolol Also Now. How Long Will It Take To Work?

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Abilify (Aripiprazole) is an atypical antipsychotics with additional antidepressant who's dose reduction should always be gradual and tapering.
If the drug is stopped or dose reduced abruptly or over a short period of time it does present with side effects like headache , dizziness , mood disturbances etc.
Since you have restarted the same dose ,headache will soon subside within 2 or 3 days.Atenolol also reduces numerous side effects the drug Abilify is known to cause.
Hope I answered your query.
Wish you good health.
