Hi FB, my dx is BPII. Mostly I suffer from depression and irritability. I have trouble taking SSRIs due to the fact that the serotonin drugs make my bladder spasm, retain urine, freuqency, just weird stuff. Plus SSRIs make my hyper.I like Abilify, but am having a lot of trouble with bloating. I am very uncomfortable and my whole body has swelled up. My clothes are tight and don't fit well.
Not sure what to do. I like Abilify but can't take the extreme swelling.
Also - I liked the Pristiq, but couldn't deal with the severe constipation.
Ugh!
