It is never a good idea to stop psych meds without the advice of a doctor. Many have to tapered off to reduce adverse effects. Some medications can be dangerous to stop cold turkey. You could have seizures as a result. It can make you feel terrible if you continue. If it has only been 2 days, I would start taking your meds again as prescribed and talk to your doctor about it on Monday. Don't double up on the meds; just take it as directed.

the withdrawal from abilify takes a while. the 0.5 existence of abilify is 3 days. as quickly as I got here off of abilify chilly turkey i stumbled on myself rigidity ridden and dealing with some restlessness and insomnia.
