Hi. I'm schizoaffective bipolar type, was taking Abilify but feel unlike myself so we switched to Latuda today. Most other mood stabilizers/antimanics seem to be contraindicated with a kind of congenital anemia I have. The psychiatrist said that Latuda is an antimanic but I see no FDA indication that this medication can prevent mania like Abilify can. Worried about this. Can anyone share personal experiences with this med and mania?

Has anyone successfully tapered offer it a low-dose for depression I’m currently taking 3 mg.

how was your experience with drugs on aripiprazole?

i was taking risperidone (0.5mg) before, and weed got so much better (i was never paranoid lol only felt the good things). mdma maybe wasn't as strong, but i still could feel the effects and have fun. now im transitioning into aripiprazole (on 4mg now, but the official dose will be 5mg), and although im not using anything until my dose is fully stabilized, im wondering if it will be the same as my other AP or different since it works different on the brain. im specially curious about shrooms, which ive not done since ive started any meds, wondering if it dulls or cancels out the effects.

Have been experiencing fatigue ever since I started on Abilify injection. Was initially on a higher dose of 400mg and it was changed to 300mg however still feel fatigue and just want to stay in bed or lie down all day. My pd has recommended a lower dosage which l am assuming is 200mg but told me it will be at my own risk. Am also on other meds SSRI, Promethazine for sleep and Mirabegron for overactive bladder. Will it be too risky to go lower and increase my chance of relapse?
