I started taking Depakote, didn't get on with that. I experienced a night of seeing/hearing things and feelings things crawling on me and then when in hospital there were words and faces on the curtain. Psych. suggested Aripiprazole to stabilise my mood as it's all over the place. I took it for a while but couldn't work and take the meds because of the side-effects so I stopped taking it. After a while the seeing things have returned and my mood is so up and down during a day. I spoke to my GP who says I don't have psychotic symptoms so didn't want me back on the Aripiprazole. Now I took it as I believed it was a mood stabliser. Now the GP is saying it's for psychotic episodes. I don't know who is right but feel I have been tricked into taking it. Can anyone clarify what it is for as I feel confused right now
