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. Been taking Aripiprazole 2mg for a week now, and while my body still feels sick like a common cold, I am doing some motio

A recent case study from Denmark highlights a type of iatrogenic error that personally I don’t think I have ever expressly thought of. A woman who had very recently arrived in Denmark from Ukraine who had a previous diagnosis of schizophrenia. Prior to emigrating Ukraine she had been managed on a l
My psychiatrist wants to put me on Saphris (Asenapine) but said it might interact with my methadone. Apparently, according to my research (and from speaking to the physician who prescribes me my methadone), the interaction has something to do with prolonging the Qt rhythm of my heart (not sure if I
