Welcome to the forums. Are you bipolar?
I have not heard of that med before. What are you taking it for?

Hi, Steph,

It is an atypical anti-psychotic.

I have not been on it. Did your psychiatrist prescribe it for you?

Mari

Yes I am bipolar type 1. I am taking it for bipolar, paranoia, and anxiety and depression.

I've read some online about some side effects of it but have not found anyone who is taking it thus far.

Yes my psychiatrist prescribed it.

Remember to talk to any pharmacist --- they are usually helpful.

How do you feel since you started it?

Mari

are you experiencing any side effects?
How long have you been on it and do you think it is helping at all?
bizi I am bipolar 1 also, but I don't really suffer with depression.

I have been on it for a looooooong time!!!!!

I was put on it to calm the voices in my head and the people I see that no one else does. It works pretty well.

Make sure you ask for the Black Cherry flavor!!!! The regular tastes like you are eating aluminum foil !!!! But still place it way back between your cheek & gum because you will still get a nasty after taste!!!!!

I hope this helps.
Abbie
