I'm back from the hospital. Apparently the clinic took me off a medicine I need and I relapsed. I found out I'm Bipolar 1. They put me on Invega injection.

Invega has been working really well for me with pretty much zero side effects. Good luck on it. And welcome back!

I haven't had any side effects. So far so good. It burns when they inject it though!

Yeah it hurts like hell lol mine seems to be every other shot makes my arm hurt like crazy for about three days. But it's worth it to stay relatively stable.

I don't understand Bipolar I. My doctor says it's dangerous if my medicine changes or get off though.
