So i was given some new medication to cope with my hallucinations and reading a bit about it, it is also treated for mania. it is 5mg so it is not a big does also i was told that i have to come off Citaripram next week reducing gradually and going on Duloxetine 60mg to be taken immediately 1 time a day. Has any one taken Aripiprazole before and what was the effects?
I have taken abilify before,the side effect I think is restless leg syndrome and also it keeps you awake,it will be a problem if you take it before you sleep.Watch everyone varies on side effect when on same medication.
I was on abilify purple. Restless legs were one of the side effects. Also you could become more sensitive to the sun. Good luck with it.
Bit worried about the restless leg but not so much the awake .Quote:

It is one that can cause weight gain the same as mirtazapine cos it can increase your appetite.
I think it's about time that you were offered some more help with your hallucinations..
I just realised I probably put my comments about hallucination in the wrong thread, sorry Purple.
Bit of an update on me taking Aripiprazole.
Sitll seeing my hallucination and not experienced any side effects although i am eating a bit more but i mainly eat fruit in the evenings now. I am wondering how long it takes before it starts to work?
How long have you been on it?
Two weeks, so not a lot of time.
Maybe give it this week and then call for a phone consultation or something to double check it with whoever prescribed it?
Still no change except i am eating a lot more. I have noticed that when i am tired i jump up suddenly and see a flash of light.
Is it worth calling whoever prescribed it and talk to them about it?
