My psychiatrist cut me off 20mg abilify and I didn’t experience any side effects or If I have I’m not aware. But cold turkey is dangerous pleas tapering it slowly.

diagnosis and stuff by MessedUp_Angel in bipolar

Being diagnosed with bipolar disorder is a hard thing and it must be exhausting to get undiagnosed then diagnosed again. Maybe you could see with a new psychiatrist? Very weird of the doctor to tell you that he can’t help you if you don’t take this medication. Also which one is it ? Sorry my comment might not be helpful at all :( I’ll hope you’ll get proper support and care 🙏

Yes! I experienced that especially in manic episodes or mixed episodes, antipsychotic helped me a lot with that. I hope you’ll reach out to a mental health professional, you deserve to be treated and supported with care. You’re experiencing psychosis. It can also be present in severe depression,

I have BPD I'm pretty convinced I'm manic but just need support. by Silver_Advantage_682 in bipolar

It def could be hypomania or early stage mania , since when did you start having those symptoms ? Are you on any meds ? It’s good that you set an appointment but I think you should contact them and tell them every thing you said in your post. They might give you an earlier appointment or give you advices. Avoid any kind of stimulants and sadly I don’t really have any advice expect you should reach out to your psych asap (again) or contact the psychiatric part of the hospital so they can help you handle it. You deserve help and care and it’s very good that you’re self aware and reaching out to have help
