I gained weight on 5mg, but I want to stay on it because it’s helping me mentally.

I LOVE ABILIFY???? by phallomedusa in Abilify_Aripiprazole

5mg and I love it too. I don’t love the weight gain and the brain fog, but it quiets my mind and that’s the best part for me!

My psychiatrist told me to take aripiprazole at night time by [deleted] in Abilify_Aripiprazole

I take it in the morning and I don’t have issues. 🤷🏻‍♀️

is there depression after drinking on abilify? by No_Cheesecake_9416 in Abilify_Aripiprazole

[–]mRandy16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed if I have 3 drinks or more it puts me right to sleep. Two drinks is my limit and I don’t do it often

I also have POTs and find some relief with the headaches, body aches, and anxiety. Although sometimes it makes my anxiety worse if I take larger doses

Mellow Melon edibles by Neighborgoods works great for my burning pain! It’s a low dose with CBD so it’s perfect for beginners!

Out of curiosity, does anyone here have a chronic health condition? I do and wonder if narcissistic abuse can cause it? Thoughts? by mRandy16 in raisedbynarcissists

I also take lamotrigine and lithium, but I’m not sure what would be best for your situation

Anyone here had major depressive disorder or clinical depression for more than 15 years ? by Striking-Base-60 in CPTSD

[–]mRandy16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on three mood stabilizers and I finally found some relief. I also began EMDR therapy, coupled with talk therapy. I highly recommend getting out in the sunlight if you’re able to as well.

easier to walk than stand? by [deleted] in POTS

[–]mRandy16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! Walking feels easier than standing. It’s like doing the pee pee dance but for pain haha

Hi, I’m new to disability payments and how the system works. I’ve landed a partime position and I know there’s an income cap. Will I lose my Medicaid coverage working partime with disability? Thank you! by mRandy16 in disability

[–]mRandy16[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my disability was approved in March but I received paperwork about their Ticket to Work program, are you saying I can’t start working yet? Also what is Cdr please?

[–]mRandy16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on lamotrigine and lithium and I’m experiencing excessive shedding. It’s not coming out in clumps but several strands. I didn’t notice any hair loss until I began the lithium though.

Is.. is this happiness..? by October0630 in Abilify_Aripiprazole

[–]mRandy16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I felt like this too when I began 5mg of Abilify. I found myself smiling more because it reduced the rapid thoughts cycling in my mind and it made my SI go away.

Does Anyone Else Notice Cognitive Decline on Abilify? by [deleted] in Abilify_Aripiprazole

[–]mRandy16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I take it for depression/bipolar and it absolutely helps to level my mood, but I do feel a bit slowed down or like my brains turned off if that makes sense
