concerta not working with abilify / low motivation

has anybody else experienced this? i've been taking 20mg of ritalin LA on top of 27mg of concerta just to be able to function again. i don't know if it's abilify or what, but it started since i started drinking it :(

i've had very low motivation, been very depressed, exhausted. i'm only on 5mg, so i don't know if i should increase my concerta dosage or lessen my abilify dosage. my doctor said it won't work as well as a mood stabilizer on 2.5mg so i'm staying on 5 but i'm thinking of lowering it.

i feel like it's over for me

i've been medicated for a few months and i still feel so useless. my memory is failing me. i can't do productive things enough. i always try to convince myself that i can just try and try again but the truth is i am tired of trying. other people can do it in one try and i have to do 100 times more effort just to get there. i'm really tired of this :(

how did you realize you need to increase doses?

questioning right now if i should consult my psychiatrist to up doses. 27mg is great for me, but i'm still distracted and have a lot of trouble reading texts. looking for answers to hopefully gauge my experiences, thank you!

Nights vs Mornings

i just took my first pill of 5mg of aripiprazole a few hours ago. i did some research and it varies for people, so i figured to start at night. it made me sleepy, but also restless, but also awake at the same time. i FEEL like i can think more clearly (i'm not sure yet), but again, i'm sleepy. BUT, i can't sleep because of restlessness. now, i'm confused on whether to stay in the night routine or go to the morning routine. i might not be able to sleep at night, but i might also be sleepy in the morning. should i stay in the night routine for now?

randomly started palpitating

hi all. has someone else experienced this? i've been on concerta 27 for around 3 months. never palpitated except for the first few days i've taken it. it doesn't hurt but it is noticeable. it feels like i'm having an anxiety attack, except it's just my heart.

i'm also skipping a day or two every weekend for tolerance. fast forward to now, and i started palpitating since yesterday. nothing really changed except i've been eating more carbs and sugar. should i be concerned?

he performed mitosis

bought the bigger one a few months back and found a mini version of him just this week!

i can't find any leads on where this pompompurin came from so if anyone has some info that'd be great😆 my partner and i are so curious about their origins

can sleep go back to normal without any other medication/supplement?

hi all. i've been on quetiapine (200mg) for a few months. i've been tapering off to quit it entirely and i am now in 50mg.

i used to not be able to sleep with 100mg, but 50mg is still enough to make me sleep now. however, i've only been sleeping 5-7 hours (mostly 5-6) and i feel really tired. i used to need 10+ hours of sleep on 200mg, but now i don't get enough.

i can't sleep unless i take the 50mg. can my sleep go back to normal eventually without relying on other meds/supplements like melatonin?

i'm currently on my period. i've never missed any month, but have been delayed every now and then because of medications i take. the past 2-3 days, i've been feeling much more emotional than usual. yesterday, i was experiencing back pain and some cramps and i was so emotional that i thought i was having my period. turns out, that pain was nothing compared to what i'm experiencing today.

this pain has always been present in my periods, and it's enough to make me cry and make me feel like i'm going to faint. it hurts my abdomen, my back, and it hurts so much even if i lay down. warm compress doesn't help. it doesn't stop until i take pain killers. i took a paracetamol earlier because i ran out of my usual, but it's not helping at all.

i'm currently sitting in class, typing this out as i try my hardest not to cry from this pain. i can't focus at all.

i've been reading stuff online for when period pain is not normal anymore, but i see resources saying it has to be like 2-3 days of pain. but for me, it's usually just 1 day of more manageable pain (but still enough to make me feel very uncomfortable) and 1 day of pain i can't manage. and mine fades out after taking mefenamic.

i'm also always experiencing acne flareups every month, and i get really depressed 1-2 days before my period.

is this enough to seek help from an OBGYN? maybe i'm just overreacting and this is a common experience

i was taking 200mg since november last year. was misdiagnosed as bipolar ii, so now i'm tapering off. i'm on 100mg.

since i've been taking it, i've been having really vivid dreams. sometimes it's an unusual scenario, sometimes i see in my dream the exact same view i have when i wake up. the common thing is i'm aware i'm sleeping, and i'm aware that i need to wake up. it's a repeating cycle for me that i try to move my limbs as hard as possible, and when i do, i wake up to that same dream, stuck in the same position. basically, it's like i'm in a cycle where i imagine moving my hands.

earlier, it happened again. i was stuck in like 7-8 cycles of me trying to move my limbs, moving it, opening my eyes to see i'm still paralyzed.

it's bothering me so much. i almost cried earlier at the thought that i would be stuck in that dream forever, because my sleep paralysis never lasted that long. i would usually wake up within 5 cycles at most.
