ARIPIPRAZOLE vs PAROXETINE

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

There is no doubt that Abilify has made a dramatic impact on the lives of many schizophrenics here. However, there is a dark side to the drug that should be known, I am afraid. It can cause gambling behaviours. In Canada, the makers of the drug have stopped fighting the class action lawsuits. They j

Any Fallout fans here? 😁 Hope everyone has a great Friday! 🙏🏼

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

Yes, some individuals will be on them for life, not have issues and good success on them. Some will struggle hard and not be able to get off of them or find one that works well for them. Some will get their bodies destroyed and have the hardest fight of their life to get off these medications. I am

I've read so many sad/bad stories about Paxil/Paroxetine while I was still on it, that I decided I'll write my own once I'm off meds, so that people who are afraid of Paxil after reading all the spooks and scares, would see success stories too. I had major panic attacks and severe anxiety. Anxiety h

How come a psychiatrist prescribes an antidepressant and tells the patient to not look at the side effects? He also assured that there were no effects on sexual function despite the fact that paroxetine is used to treat premature ejaculation in several studies. After deciding to stop paroxetine (due

I just saw a post on instagram and people were saying that brain zaps were genuinely the worst experience of their life, and someone even went to the ER because of it. I’m on day 3 of Paroxetine and I don’t even want to continue (obviously know I can’t just quit now) because of these side effects. I

Hey, looking for a place to vent a little and maybe get some validation. I'm so, so mad and now even more scared as it seems I'm getting no medical help on this. I've stopped Paxil around Christmas. Obviously, I started getting all the fun side effects such as insomnia, nausea and most of all the br

This may seem crazy. But when i was 20ish i was prescribed Deroxat (Paroxetine) for mild depression an social anxiety It worked right from day one, i was numb as wood, that sounds odd but for the first time i didn't have negative feeling (nor good) and that was sooo fucking relaxing, not worrying a

Hi Reddit! I just wanted to say that hope is out there. I'm using a throw-away for obvious reasons. Here is my story. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I had been sinking into depression wors

Hello everybody, I hope all of you are doing okay. So I went on a trip 5 days ago, while everything was on point, I forgot the most important thing to bring with me, I thought it was already in the luggage so I have not bothered checking twice. I take Paroxetine 40mg, and the withdrawals are mild, n
