New meds phasing in and out over 6 mo after 12 years on the same drug

[Thanna]

Been on Clopixol, not available in the usa
sedating sex drive killer
with large appetite
and stomach acid (require omeprazole)

new on Aripiprizole

5mg so far

doing it in 4 increase / decrease stages
up to expected dose 20mg in about 6 months time

been well for 12 years
maybe my prognosis is better than it looked 12 years ago

it is a heavy med, clopixol… i hope i won’t need that stuff forever.

can have up to about 5h stomach pain in the space of 24h

Good luck with the med change.

Feeling positive but it’s a risk ey
