I'm too tired or something to write a new post. (I don't really know what i want or need from this site) so I'm replying to this thread for more of emotional support.


I've been saying it from the begining, I'm not sure nor are my doctors sure I have bipolar disorder. The fact is, they put me on aripiprozole and I've since gained a lot of weight. Most of my clothes don't fit me right anymore. It's very very discouraging, considering I don't really eat all that much and I try to be active (though the active part may have been lacking). I just wanted to cry out tonight that I hate this weight gain, but I may be emotionally better on the abilify. I don't know for sure. I'm afraid of withdrawal symptoms and/or going back to the fights I used to have with my husband. Circumstances have changed a little, but I'm afraid of risking it all. But this weight gain. I'm concerned about that causing worse problems. I want to get off this drug...but I'm scared too.


popping in after some time. hope everyone's doing alright.
