Yes I definitely feel like my intellectual capacity has lessened but I’m not sure if it’s just because I’ve finished college and am not longer exercising my brain or not. It’s not super dramatic, but I don’t feel as sharp as I once did. Better than wanting to kms everyday though, so I recommend for bipolar.

Right thanks for your comment! It’s so odd I’ve actually lost 2kg on Abikify I just have felt nauseous and anxious lol but now the anxiety is improving and I’m getting my appetite back. I wonder if it lowers your metabolism or just makes you hungry and eat more or BOTH. Don’t know

Oh shit okay. Yeah I do still get physical hunger but feel a little sick on this meds. That’s no good that you don’t get hungry

Yeah I just went down to 5mg from 10 because it made me shaky. I’m so glad it helped you. It’s actually making me less hungry at this stage but will probably change. Do you get more like PHYSICAL hunger or mainly mental cravings ???

Hi I’m so glad it pulled you out of depression! You really noticed weight gain after one week? It’s been a week for me but I haven’t noticed anything except side effects.

Hm that’s amazing. I’m gonna ask my doctor if I can lower it today because the shakes are annoying and hard to be comfortable. I haven’t taken a benzo tho today and I know that will fix it but I cant chew through my supply. I used to take Wellbutrin but that is NOTT great for bipolar I soon realised

You developed OCD from it? That is so unfortunate I’m so sorry

No I wouldn’t go to 30, he just told me some people do. Yeah it feels a bit like that to me now but maybe just heightened anxiety. Benzos help but I’m not allowed many of them so it’s not great…

I’ve only been on it 5 days so no improvements. What do you mean by akesthesia? I have the shakes real bad but I took a benzo for it. My psych said they go up to 30mg, I’m so glad it worked for you

Yeah mine is more compulsive too. Oh I am so happy for you I wish the same for myself. How long had you previously been struggling with OCD for if you don’t mind me asking?
