@Derrick545 This question is now 12 hours old as of my writing, so I’m sure you’ve either had your injection or refused it. I have bipolar disorder type 1, and I took Abilify for many years. It worked for me, but it was not perfect. I had to take other medicine along with it to help with other symptoms.
In the end, my Psychiatric Prescribing Nurse Practitioner and I decided to try a medicine newly approved to treat bipolar disorder called Latuda. It’s working better for me than the Abilify did, and I’m taking fewer pills.
I recommend you speak to your doctor about alternatives and simultaneously seek out a new doctor.
@Rickomg You wrote, “The bottom line is we all have within ourselves to fix whatever mess we get ourselves into. Be it mental or physical. Thought rules form. Period.” That’s bullshit. What you are spewing on this thread is dangerous and stupid.
A few years ago, one of my very close friends died. Did he get himself into a mess with cancer? Did he think himself into breast cancer that moved to his spine and finally his brain?
I suggest you educate yourself on the reality of mental illness. For now, let the professionals do their jobs. Your words here are harmful.
@Derrick545 Please, be very careful asking for medical advice on the Internet. There are many people who have computers and Internet access who will write very dangerous things.
