Anyone have experience of this medication as a treatment for bipolar?

I'm currently taking 5mg instead of 15mg as I should because at the higher dose I'm completely hungry all the time and feel very flat.

Speaking to my nurse about adding an anti depressant on as I really feel terrible on it. Very low, but short burst of happiness. Been on it for 6 weeks.

Does anyone have any opinions on their experience with aripiprazole? I just don't think it's working. Not sure how it should make me feel .

I didn't feel well when I was on it. I think I went to 25mg and I got akathesia. I changed to olanzapine but had problems with it too. Now I am on lurasidone which seems to be rather ok.
