I'm also probably swapping over to this from quitiapine on Monday!

My psych said I'll have to be on both APs for a few weeks due to the risk of psychosis when starting Aripiprazole. Has anyone ever heard of this? Google doesn't seem to be that helpful. I'm being prescribed it to treat Bipolar.

I've been on quite a few anti psychotics and every time they have changed them they have done it like this. It's quite a common way to swop to prevent relapse. It's only for a short period of time so there is less risk of heart problems x
