Finally weaned off Abilify

Like the title says. I posted here before complaining that I couldn’t enjoy anything and I was tired all the time. The doctor listened and took me off of it by having me taper off of it by dropping from 10mg to 5mg for 5 days and stopping all together. So far I feel fine since I stopped taking it. But did anyone have any weird symptoms? I got super itchy and sweaty (gross) but it always seems that way when I stop a medicine and start a new one/change dosages.

For those who did taper off successfully: How long did it take for you all to feel interested in doing stuff again? Like wanting to take care of yourself, do your housework, do hobbies, and or go outside/shopping? Of course everyone works it out of their system differently but I just don’t want to make it to the weekend and expect to do all of these things when it hasn’t completely flushed out of my body yet.

Also thanks everyone for helping me out in my previous post. I felt really bad and alone with this issue and didn’t know Abilify was capable of causing all of my apathy. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.
