Were the side effects generally tolerable? I know it can be quite stimulating and I’m not stranger to that feeling. Anything else I should have aware of? Or should I wait til an off day?
Currently on 59mg of sertraline.
My provider is wanting to take me off SSRIS and go down the mood stabilizer or SGA route.
Lamictal is not an option as I’ve reacted poorly to it in the past
-lithium. Gold standard, I’m sure it could be promising but the blood draw compliance is a concern of mine
-trileptal. Studies largely do not support med effectiveness pertaining to bipolar 2.
-caplyta. Seems to have many negative side effects. Newer drug
-abilify- also has a lot of negative side effects and scared it may push me into hypomania/ mania
Psych nurse here. I’ve seen a lot of discussion here pertaining to lack of sufficient evidence that this med is beneficial for bipolar 2?? Agree? Disagree? Why would one opt to prescribe this considering the studies? Curious for professional and personal reasons.
I’ve seen a lot of discussion here pertaining to lack of sufficient evidence that this med is beneficial for bipolar 2?? Agree? Disagree? Is it more beneficial when used with another med like an ssri??? Curious for professional and personal reasons.
Anyone on this with success??? The studies regarding this med pertaining to bipolar extremely weak?
