Aripiprazole

Hi

I went on these for about 3 weeks.

I originally went on them to stabilise my mood swings as an alternative to citalopram (which I felt wasn't working anymore at 60mg daily!)

To cut a long story short, I felt very dizzy on aripiprazole and very 'heady' and couldn't function so I came off it quite quickly.

I was advised to take it in the evening before bed to minimise the slight zombie effect but I didn't persevere.

As it turned out, my mental health improved by reducing the dose of citalopram to only 20mg (strange I know) but this is all just my experience.

Take care
