It’s just an AP....but the mechanism is slightly different than like every other AP as in it’s a low D2 binder but clearly has another pathway as well. I don’t even know if it’s approved for bipolar type stuff just hallucinations/delusions/sz.

Just wondering with the impulsive stuff if you’ve ever been tested for adhd? I swear I never had it prior to bipolar but once I did it changed me to jumping from on thing to another. They won’t give me a stimulant but luckily the fish oil counteracted this for me.

If you’re not taking fish oil, I’d say try it for a month and see if it works for you, like any med it’s going to depend on your personal genetics....it may or may not work.
