Guest [cl...] Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Not sure if I have this post in the correct board... I would like to ask if anyone might be able to help me do the math to create a liquid preparation of my Abilify using the Ora Plus suspension vehicle available on Amazon. I understand it is the same stuff compounding pharmacies use. I found the information and instruction sheet for it online: https://www.perrigo.com/files/rx/pdfs/pds173-Ora-Plus%20Sell%20Sheet.pdf, but it is clear as mud to me as to how many Abilify tabs I should use per volume of suspension liquid. I may just have to do a direct taper! Cleer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [cl...] Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 p.s. I called the number listed on the information pamphlet at the link above and was merely presenting with loops of sales offers for silly things! Grrrrr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest [cl...] Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Hi Bella! The tablets are tiny, 2 mg per tab! I would like to start with a 10% dose reduction over a 30 day period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Be...] Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Here is a 30 day sample plan. Click on image to enlarge 300 days seems like a long time to taper 2mg. Is Abilify a difficult medication to withdrawal from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [cl...] Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I am smiling and chuckling at myself. I was making it so hard in my head. Liquid is liquid, right? But I was thinking there was something "different" or unique about this Ora Plus that needed special computations. Thank you. Anyhow, from what I have been reading, some people have significant issues coming off Abilify. I read so many poor accounts the other night, that I created anxiety for myself, worrying that I may encounter some of the same. So, I want to move slowly and safely, as I cannot afford (for the sake of work) to become unstable. While prescribed as a depression add-on medication, it is actually an anti-psychotic. While prescribed at higher doses for people with psychosis, as a depression add-on, even the 2 mg is considered a full dose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
