Dear Diary.
Guess who fell asleep at seven again last night?!
I’m beginning to think I may never get this medication right and they may have to change me to something else. That’s the last thing I want because besides the sleepiness issue Aripiprazole has been a wonder drug for me.
I felt really bad last night because bear had to sit on his own all evening. He had received bad news yesterday and was so down. I had planned to talk to him about it after tea but instead I fell asleep. I’m such a useless girlfriend at the moment, I cant even manage to be a supportive listener for him.
I worry that he has no support at the moment, he has become the linchpin that is holding me together but who is now holding him?
I hope Bear knows how much I value and love him and I hope he knows that I am trying my best to solve the situation as fast as possible.
Mental Health Sucks!

I was on meds like that. Once taken I was out cold and it was nearly impossible to wake me up. I was on for six months and ended up going off. Last year they tried again with a smaller dose (I had been taking 20mg and they cut it down to 3mg and I was to break in half. Took it for two days and that was it. Same issues regardless of mg. I really hope that they can figure out dosage. What about if you took later in the evening? š

I’m currently experimenting with time of day taken. Hopefully this will help.

I’m on a form of aripiprazole and found that the sleepiness actually got better in time! I hope if you continued that it did improve.

I’m learning to manage it but it’s slow going.
