ARIPIPRAZOLE vs DESVENLAFAXINE

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.

I can’t go on another medication because the other meds make you gain weight and I am already overweight. I am on a combination of aripiprazole and sertraline for my bipolar and ocd. It is hell. I would rather be off my meds completely. I am crying as I type because I have lost all hope for myself.

I've been used for trials in the past. However, not to this extent. My family thinks this is too much for a single dose. My psych says it's fine to take this many meds. I've been on these for a month now. Should I keep going or change my doc? Any recommendation from anyone who's been through too ma

I’ve been doing some reading about the 2 available forms of desvenlafaxine, but I think I’ve confused myself at this point. Other than the salt form, is there any major difference between the two? When looking at FDA orange book online, Desvenlafaxine ER succinate has an AB rating to Desvenlafaxine

I have been dealing with mysterious tachycardia and heart palpitations for almost a decade. I have no genetic or lifestyle flags for heart issues, and basically have just been told I should try more cardio and cut out the caffeine. For reference, my usual resting heart rate hangs around 95-105bpm. T

EDIT: Thank you so much to everyone who replied to this post I really appreciate all the inputs, you guys are seriously more helpful then some doctors I have seen.

I cannot find anything about mechanism pointing towards the uniqueness of duloxetine over venlafaxine or desvenlafaxine.

About a month ago I (19F) was prescribed Buspirone for anxiety and Desvenlafaxine for depression. These medications were chosen after I took a Genesight test and the results showed them to be among the best options. The person that prescribed them was not my usual consultant, but was the person I wa

I am a pharmacy technician with over 20 years of experience across just about every faction of pharmacy besides Big Pharma/R&D. I currently have a full time job in RX finance, and an evening gig in LTC data entry. The other day at my part time shop, I literally happened upon a script by chance

I (29F) learned in another Reddit thread that Miralax is derived from polyethylene glycol, a petroleum-based compound, derived from petroleum byproducts. This information obviously freaks me out. All of my medications have constipation/hard bowel movements as a side effect (Desvenlafaxine, clonidin
