Hello @lilgrizz and welcome to Mayo Connect

I appreciate your post about both you and your mom. Your mom's doctor does sound amazing! This is the first that I've heard of injections of Abilify, however, we have a lot of members at Mayo Connect who might have some personal experience with it. Here is a website from the U.S. National Library of Medicine about Abilify, https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a615048.html. Perhaps this will shed some light on it for you.

Are you feeling better with this treatment?

Teresa

@hopeful33250 thank you for the welcome and web site. there are quite a few drugs I am going to look up. maybe you could help start my discussion I started about being bipolar. so far no participation. its in the mental health group and called what has bipolar not done to your life. thanks again.

Hello @lilgrizz

We do have members who have discussed bipolar or disorders of a similar nature. In time they will undoubtedly join the discussion. Abby, @amberpep, has described cyclothymia which she describes as a milder form of bipolar. Perhaps she will join the conversation.

Please share with us, as you feel comfortable doing so, what non-drug strategies you have used to help you with your moods. I'm thinking of activities like keeping a mood journal, physical exercise, social activities, etc.
