Abilify has several kinds of dosage in Taiwan.
(5mg, 10mg, 15mg, 20mg, and 30mg.)
I suggest you ask more hospitals about lower dosage pill of Abilify.
For example: 10mg pills are available in many hospitals.
When you split a 10mg pill into 4 pieces, it will be about 2.5mg
which will be quite similar to your previous dosage.
