Hey everyone Im new here and have some difficulties. Im not feeling normal I dont feel up or down really but kind of both. I talked to my doctor and he upped by abilify to 45mg a day from 22.5 and its seemed to lessen the severity of it but its still there. Any advice on what I should do? How should I handle this. I dream of killing myself but at the same time dont want to because Im otherwise kind of happy. I dont know how to deal with this.

Mixed episodes are hard and scary! Take care of yourself with regular sleep, abstain from alcohol and caffeine. Try dark therapy if sleep is hard. Keep in touch with your Dr and don't hesitate to check yourself into the hospital if needed to stay safe.

My doctor upped my abilify to 45mg and added lamictal to help with depression. I doubt this will work but I hope it will. Any advice on what to do. Ive been having bad depression lately and I want this new medicine to work but know it will take some time but it cant seem to be effective long enough.
