I called it out before even getting diagnosed with Bipolar! Well at least the psychosis part.. But after going to a 2nd psychiatrist who can prescribe me whatever they wanted to prescribe me, she wrote on her diagnosis sheet thingy that is needed when I get my recipe book (I have no clue if that is just a Bulgarian thing) so .. wow I am everywhere XD So she wrote on there "Bipolar Affective Disorder ,Current episode: Mania with psychosis" It just took her for me randomly start laughing because a voice wouldn't stop singing "The wheels on the bus go boom and boom, boom and boom, so does you, The wheels on the bus go boom and boom all to our death!" after we wrote on a bus that smelled like burning metal.
Honestly I feel good, ignoring my crazy Russian church psychologist that talks more than me, finally having someone who understands me just a little bit is a relief.
Also I've been prescribed: Explemed and Akinestat. From what the psych told us Explemed is to remove the side effects? Or my brain can be lying to me, after all the whole time that voice was singing that damn song XD

Explemed is called abilify here in america. just wondering if you were able to talk with your doctor about how you felt about it and if you are now comfortable with taking it. (the last posting I read about this was you were afraid of abusing it or not taking it right and that no one would be able to monitor it for you during your school trip.) I take it everything is now worked out. Im glad you have your medication now, hopefully you will soon be feeling better.

Yeah I soon realized that Abilify and Explemed are basically the same thing and the other one is to remove the side affects. I will be starting them on the 1st of June, I've got everything ready and my best friend will be the one controlling my intake, as always. I am off the Atarax and on some herbal things that would help me sleep since this is the problem that I'm having at the moment, plus it would be nice having something like that on a tour since excitement will be off the roof. By what every pdoc have told me it will work completely fine with me, but we will have to see. Now what is left is returning from Italy, going to the psychiatrist, her explaining what and how to intake and hanging them off to my bff, he will the proceed to keep me under control when I am not myself.
Actually life is being pretty good for now. Hopefully it would continue like that.

Akinestat (biperiden) is the med to reduce side-effects, not aripiprazole (Explemed).

Is depression your main concern (I don't remember if you mentioned it, sorry)?

Otherwise, I'd suggest another antipsychotic or a mood stabiliser together with those meds.

Do you actually have side-effects or is it a precaution?

Yes yes it is the Akinestat that reduces the side-effects, as I said my brain was else where.
Depression is my main concern but recently the psychotic episodes are adding up in me concern list
Since it is my first antipsychotic (Explemed is an antipsychotic from what I read.. again my brain is up in the air so I might be very wrong) and haven't even started it yet so we will see what will happen. I am very prone to side-effects. (even from pain-killers.. you do not want to see me on my first day of period.. it's not pretty trust me) so probably I will need it, but once again a miracle might happen! Who knows!

It's an antipsychotic, yes.

Any side-effects so far? I hope not.
