What Are The Withdrawal Side Effects Of Abilify And Zoloft?

Hello, My son was on abilify and zoloft which doctors are currently treating him for borderline personality disorder, However, he was told to ween himself off abilify over 4 days beginning august 21st. He didn t show signs of depressive thoughts, easily angered, and dilusional thoughts until Oct. 10th is it possible the drug took that long to get out of his body and was working? Since he went back on, it took 5 days and he is fantastic again mi

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Never stop Abilify cold turkey, some of the symptoms that commonly emerge from stopping Abilify include tardive dyskinesia, schizophrenia, symptoms of bipolar disorder, insomnia, and headaches. If use of this drug is discontinued abruptly; antipsychotic withdrawal symptoms can be much more uncomfortable or even serious. Stopping sertraline abruptly may result in one or more of the following withdrawal symptoms: irritability, nausea, feeling dizzy, vomiting, nightmares, headache, and/or paresthesias (prickling, tingling sensation on the skin).

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
