ARIPIPRAZOLE vs CARIPRAZINE

I was re-diagnosed with bipolar disorder (unspecified) again last week. I didn’t stick to meds the first time around, but decided to just believe and take it seriously this time.

17f. I’m on aripiprazole and sertraline, for bipolar and ocd. I’ve made posts about it but to put it simply it’s making me feel worse than when I was off them. No option to quit medication or change meds because other meds make you gain weight and if I gained any more weight I would be classed as o

Can anybody relate? Being off work for the holidays and staying home at my apartment is a surefire trigger into a mixed episode for me, almost within three days off work, every time. I'm a research assistant at a university, so I get two weeks off for winter break, which I should be grateful for, b

Hi everyone, I would really appreciate professional opinions, especially from psychiatrists in Bulgaria or elsewhere in Europe. I am a 27-year-old woman from Bulgaria.

My work has gone nuclear (check my post history for information). I saw my psychiatrist on Monday about work going crazy and she offered me seroquel. I stupidly said no thanks due to the weight gain. But since seeing her, work has gotten worse and worse and worse... I am probably facing termination.
