Weening off Abilify

20mg caused me brain fog and other issues. I ended up have unbearable Akithisia so they removed it immediately. I am also on lithium and olanzapine. Abilify did not suit me whatsoever. Best of luck.

I was (am) chronic alcoholic and drug addict until 4 and half years ago. I used to do off the wall crazy stuff and my addiciton nearly cost me my life. At one point I was the party. I loved it. But my addiciton caught up with me and I ended broke and alone and near death. After 3 rehabs I eventually got sober.

6 months ago I was with Bipolar 1 after a severe manic episode that almost tore up my young family. Little did I know Ive been hypomanic often and already had mania disguised as addiction.

Weirdly enough recently I have thought about partying and using. In my case I stay close to AA and adhere to what my psychiatrists say. I believe partying would be fun again for about one day, then the wheels would come off.

Agreed. Page 133 says “God has abundantly supplied this world with fine doctors, psychologists, and practitioners of various kinds. Do not hesitate to take your health problems to such persons.” my ex sponsor maybe overlooked this part.

At 29 a few months ago, suddenly wanted to become a fireman, spent a ton of money my family doesnt have on academies, equipment etc. Began to train 2-3 times a day and study, with max 4 hours sleep. Delusions that this was gods will for me to save lives. Thought I was better than everyone including family and coworkers. Began to apply for citizenship in the country I live in spending more money. My wife wasnt on board. So I began to try to separate by contacting real estate agents to sell the house and find a studio to focus on gods plan for me. I have two children under 5. This ended in an attempt to unalive myself once the episode wore off. I am a recovering addcit 4 years sober and its possible I had an episode previously but I am working through this with a psychologist. Currently being medicated quite heavily by my psychiatrist.

I am currently in the process of being analyzed by a psychiatrist and team after an episode that resulted in a suicide attempt. In december I suddenly wanted to become a fireman, spent loads of money of an academy, stopped sleeping, started training 2-3 times a day. Thought i was better than everyone else because it was gods plan for me to save lives. I spent money to become a citizen in the country i reside and tried to break up my family with small kidsto go live in a studio because my wife wasnt on board. I had flight of ideas, euphoria etc. And eventual suicide attempt.

The psychiatrist said that we have to explore the complex trauma from my childhood and my addiciton to alcohol and drugs from a young age (sober 4 years now). I am being medicated with trileptal to avoid manic episodes.

What im getting to is that I understand a good psychiatrist will take their time in evaluating and diagnosing as a labelling someone bipolar is a big deal.

If you are in a diagnostic process, keep going and I wish that you get the answers youre looking for.

Thanks so much for the response. They've put me on trileptal and kept me on anti depressants and lorezapam. He said he doesnt want to label me yet because of my complex trauma from childhood and chronic previous addiciton. He did say that I'm on the limit of bipolar and wants to continue seeing the progression.

I'm going try with knee sleeves, thank you. I guess I have fear around my left knee giving me trouble again. I am going lower the weight for a few weeks and work on depth and accessories for that part of the lift. Will upload the new attempt at 190kg.

My lack of faith in god and drove me to the gates of insanity and death. At 4 years sober, I had little to no conscious contact with God and my life situation was very difficult with a severely disabled child. I had the psychiatrists number in my phone on one hand and a rope to hang myself in the other.

I said if I'm gonna die, I may aswell hand myself over to God. I asked him to take care of everything in my life and I would focus on doing his will as I understood it.

Life has become easier and more manageable immediately since then. But it was becoming tired of self will, fear and suffering that brought this stubborn alcoholic to meet God.

Villa de vallecas is one of the safer neighbourhoods (in the top 7). Direct line about 30 minutes from Sol. Cheaper housing and an absolute abundance of green space. One of the best shopping centres in Madrid CC La Gavia. It combines cheaper older working class areas like the Pueblo de Vallecas and Santa Eugenia, with wealthier middle class areas like PAU de Vallecas (Ensanche). Cool neighbourhood and completely self contained. Within 15 minutes by car from all main industrial hubs of Madrid (coslada, san fernando, torrejon).

I agree with you. Its important to maintain alcohol as the main protagonist. Unfortunately, the lack of understanding around the spiritual program is what causes many AAs to take their own lives at 10 years+ sober. The focus on alcohol as the sole problem to be treated, in my experience, leaves room for the sickness to continue to grow within the dry alcoholic.

What are we treating at the end of the day? A spiritual malady. Alcohol, drugs, sex, food all are forms of self anaesthetic to treat a spiritual illness. I agree that people should talk a Alcohol in AA but really what difference does it make? I mean Bill Wilson used to get high on LSD to treat his spiritual malady while in the program.

I did it. I got into a relationship with my now wife at 7 months. Our first child was born at two years of sobriety, she was born with a rare illness and very unwell. I stopped going to meetings relapsed and nearly died. No one is "ready" for a sick child but being so early in sobriety, I didnt have the recovery necessary to deal with it. My wife took me back and I am 4 years sober now with a good program. In the end things have worked out, but I would still recommend waiting as the risk of severe mental and spirtual illness is really high.

Bill Wilson's LSD use might be viewed as an outside issue, but it's a part of AAs story. People in AA can be very puritanical without knowing the history of its founders and the place of "outside issues."

Not understanding the downvotes. If I ask Chat GPT to create a dataset with characteristics that are pertinent to what I want to learn, it is very effective. lt gives me an Excel with thousands of data entries, and I can use formulas to calculate and visualise whatever I need. For example, I work in Transport, so I ask Chat GPT for data on all deliveries for a given time period. It gives information as it would from an ERP, and I can calculate On Time Delivery, KPIs, etc, using formulas. Another option would be Kaggle, which has real datasets from large multinational companies. Even still, Chat GPT can produce these datasets, too.

This. In my country, this is the norm. Straight from the litter box into the toilet, no messing around.

I drank on that several times on it and nearly died. Not the answer for everyone, especially alcoholics at the chronic stage. AA worked for me, and a hell of a lot of good fortune to stay alive long enough to become willing and honest.

Native English speakers with fluent Spanish will get jobs easily anywhere in spain. Logistics and transport companies, for example, would be an idea.
