If a drug is hurting or making me feel way out of sorts....then no. I’ve told doctors no, that I will not take a certain drug that failed me and to find something else. I pretty much wont take any a.p. After trying several in the past because they hurt. You see, I have to function and go to work everyday. I quit seriously because I slept for 22 hours for 3 days and made me feel like I was moving through honey.
So to me, you did the right thing.
There is a lawsuit against the makers of Abilify because it triggered its users to have compulsive gambling habits....true? Idk.
Antidepressants tend to trigger hypomania in me to where I do all things that you have described. Can you be bipolarish, too?

Thanks for your reply. The kind of mania I'm experiencing is similar to that of bipolar, but I already feel like it's easing just after 2 days of not taking them, not much but I think there is improvement. I'm still taking the antidepressants as I've been taking them for about a year and know not to stop taking meds suddenly if you've been on them for so long.
I just wish my psychiatrist believed in what I was saying. I also have a psychologist that I'm seeing on Tuesday, so I'm going to speak to her about it too.
