Hello guys, I've been taking this now for two weeks. I am a bit high on it and anxious. I have loads of energy and am doing way more with myself then I was. I am not sure if I can tolerate anymore than 5 mg which is not enough as I still take Solian tapering off it gradually.
I don't know could I manage college like this but I feel good the only thing is the high feeling after 6/7 pm which I can't tolerate.
Does anyone have experience of this drug and how did you find it, regarding weight gain etc?? Thanks in advance.

Aripiprazole was way too activating for me. The amisulpride you're tapering off - I've tried that before and it gave me terrible akathisia.
For some people, aripiprazole is great. It's not generally sedating and it quite often induces weight loss (which is only good if you're too overweight!).
Although if you keep trying with the aripiprazole, it might become less activating with time.
PM me if you want a PDF copy of the ICD-10or the Mental Health Act 1983/2007. I ALSO HAVE THE DSM-V BOOK and am a pharmacology student.
I have a visual impairment / neurological problems so I need people to type in clear text and no funny fonts. Also excuse any typos, my vision blocks things out.
I have autism and have problems communicating, PMs included.
Just becasue I type well doesn't mean I speak well. I am only part time verbal.
I've definitely lost weight cos I saw myself tonight and I'm smaller. I feel ok I suppose. What dose do people take? I went down to 50 Solain and be off that soon hopefully. I do get high from Abilify though and can't manage alcohol. Thanks for replies.

I think it's something you need to talk to your doctors about, because it's not a good idea to come off it without medical advice. It can also take some time for medications to settle.
It doesn't matter where you come from; it matters where you go.
No-one gets remembered for the things they didn't do.
We won't all be here this time next year,
so while you can take a picture of us.
We're definitely going to hell,
but we'll have all the best stories to tell.
I'm not coming off it myself. The consultant is weaning me off the Solian. I am trying the best I can under the circumstances with the new drug. I'm doing post grad soon and need to be ok in class and that. I'm just rather high from it.

Hi Musical_Solitude, I know I have no right to reply, but I've been a bit worried as I haven't seen you around. I'm glad you're still here and I wish you luck with the new meds and everything else in your future. Sorry if I seem creepy and of course feel free to just ignore, I won't blame you. Look after yourself though, ok.
It didn't work for me at all. I went off of it eventually because it was making me worse and very very manic sometimes. Its pretty weight neutral though

Really? They reduced the Solian and I worry that when it's stopped, I will be unwell. I am huge now to look at and feel terrible weight wise. These aren't the worse meds I've tried and my work is improving managing to do more hours and stuff plus I even managed to start dating again after two years so I feel that is a huge thing.

It sounds like the new drug is having some quite positive effects :) doing more work and dating again all sounds amazing and I hope things continue to improve.
It's been upped and I'm very sedated, so it will be a slow journey. Yeah I'd be surprised anyone would date me either. I need to save for college so been working long hours. I hope I'll be ok around people when it starts.
Thanks for the replies.

Is it normal to be left completely with no support while changing meds alone? I have spoken to nobody all wkend and I rang the service but they ignored me.
