  ABSTRACT: Aripiprazole, a third-generation antipsychotic, has been considered to have a high safety profile and rare withdrawal symptoms. We reported the case of a schizophrenic patient with a significant obsession, who was treated with a high dosage of aripiprazole and fluoxetine. Generalized tonic-clonic seizure occurred two days after abruptly stopping these two medications. Gradually tapering aripiprazole is suggested in clinical practice, especially when using a high dosage.
