I’ve increased my dosage to 10mg + 8mg blonanserin (AP) and my hypersexuality is wild. I’m doing this in guidance with my doctor but I feel absolutely miserable with these high dosages of medication.
If I can work in the hospital, and they can help me to adjust my meds, I’m ok with that. Honestly I feel terrible. These psychotic episodes are the worst.
Happy Cake Day @whirling-leaves !
Thanks!
I’m really struggling right now. I feel like the school is stealing information from my computer.
That’s likely a delusion. Schools have strict rules that they have to abide by.
I wouldn’t worry.
When I started Abilify I became hyper sexual and now I have problems with pornography and masturbation.
The paradoxes is when I don’t have a sex drive I kind of feel suicidal I don’t know I’m in A complex situation.
I’m a mess. I haven’t felt like this in years…
When I started Abilify I started drinking and smoking marijuana and smoking nicotine. I’m in a mess but I’m done with it for now. I’m throwing all that stuff out.
I might ask my doctor to wean me off of abilify and increase my other AP instead.
I take perphenazine which helps my positive symptoms, but why I want to stay in the Abilify at 7 mg daily. It took away all the unbearable feelings from my voices so I can ignore them now. But now I have compulsive behavior
The compulsive behaviours are the worst. The other AP I’m taking is really good for cognitive symptoms. Without it I’m dead as a tree log.
Hows your sleep? I used to sleep 14hrs a day. Now I can get by with 6-8hrs a day.
I sleep from 11pm to 8:30am. I have to go to work.
Abilify tends to make me hypesexual when I first go on it. And then after a few weeks, it dies down.
Thank you for your insight.
Unfortunately it only intensifies some of the voices that shame me. I’m absolutely miserable.
Yes medication effects everyone differently. I understand shame.
I’m on 20 mg of Abilify. I can attest to it having lots of unpleasant side effects. Now my new doctor wants me on injections of Abilify, and I was hoping to try to lower the Abilify and use musician’s ear plugs to manage my noise sensitivity.
I wish you well @whirling-leaves. Working and dealing with this is evidence that you are very strong.
EDIT: I take 30 mg of abilify and have for years. When I was in the hospital, long ago, I remember that it took some time for it to decrease the people in my head.
The problem I’m experiencing the most is the urinary commands. I often struggle with insight these days. I see my psychiatrist tomorrow and I’ll discuss with him all of my concerns. I hope I’ll be ok soon. I’ll also discuss hospitalization too.
I hope your psychiatrist can help.
