Now i restart it about week ago. My libido little bit came back Thank you Thiiaa, when you stopped abilify you would have gone into withrawal which may have caused the loss of libido. How are you feeling apart from the loss of libido? It is good that it started to come back and will take time to recover. Restarting was a good thing to do. It may come back fully without any other drug, and wellbutrin has other side effects. If you wait until you are stable and back to normal on abilify you could taper very, very slowly and avoid the withdrawal.

This will take you straight to the signature box in your settings.
