Bipolar disorder

[cynira]

So I took your guys advice in getting a therapist and psychiatrist. First appointment went well, it was over the phone due to covid couldn’t go in person to talk but phone call will do. Got my medicine and today was the first time taking it. I don’t know if you guys heard of it before is aripiprazole. Let see how this works.

Everybody's different.

I get the shot once a month so I don't think about it so much. Honestly it's hard but it's better for me than to not at this point. I would tell your dr how you feel. Or you could get a second opinion too. That's all I can think of. I'm sorry. I know it's extremely hard finding the right meds. It's the best for me that's why I take it. I also take gabapentin for anxiety with it. Hope that helps.

Hi cynira

I experienced those same symptoms, my meds were too strong. Or it could be side by effects that will pass on a few days. I would let my doctor know immediately. Sometimes you have to try more than one meds, before you find one that works well for you!

Don't give up! Just a stumbling block.
