Abilify has a relatively long half-life. It is about 96 hours. It might be a week or more before he begins to experience any withdrawal symptoms. I haven't read many accounts of the course of withdrawal from Abilify. Anxiety is bound to surface. Beyond that, I'm really not sure. It would be a big favor to this website if you were to report back to us how things go.
Generally speaking, most of a drug is eliminated from the body after 5 half-lives. For Abilify, that would be approximately 20 days.
Hoping for the best...
