In reply to Hyper or Hypomanic on Abilify?, posted by TrishP on November 10, 2006, at 10:10:32
Hi,
I'm bipolar as well and experienced a similar reaction to abilify... its not as uncommon as u might think... anti-psychotics have antidepressant qualities and can easily 'overshoot' and cause one to spiral into hypomania/mania... I stopped sleepin on abilify... I recommend u try for at least another week and see if it subsides.. if not, try a classical mood stabilizer...
