Honestly I don’t know. What’s a low dose and high dose of abilify? I mean when I took 600mg Of Seroquel i tried to jump down by 100mg at a time. 500mg was okay just a little emotional, 400mg was harder, being emotional for longer. When I heard of the 10% tapering method it made sense. Every time I reduced, the percentage was bigger. So if 1 - 0.5mg is a big jump, I can’t say. But technically that’s a 50% reduction. Maybe you need the meds or maybe it was too fast a decline.
