This bipolar is actually causing me to feel my brain is sick, off balance, etc. I was on abilify for 10 days and felt hypomania or maybe just a lift in the depression (can't tell which). I did have insomina, headaches, some sedation, nervousness, etc. but then ended up in the ER with heart palpatations in the 160s, so doc took me off it. He says abilify is a strange drug in that it works on dopamine in certain areas of the brain but not others. So that makes sense because half my brain feels like it is on speed and the other half sedated and depressed. Very weird feeling. I just want a freakin normal brain not a sick, diseased one.
