Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
What is overdose of
Arip (Arpiprazole) that you mean? Do you mean to say that you took an extra tablet. If so please do not be worried about it. It may not be overdose.
Yes, with Arip, you can gain weight. You seem to notice it more on the breasts. It is a known side effect of Arip use.
Work, weight and relationships are three different aspects of life. Continue to take Buspin as advised by your doctor. Medicines can aid and sustain a smoother life and get your work going. After a
fracture of the arm, they put a POP mold or tie a stick by straightening the arm. POP or stick would aid in healing but it is not the medicine. Similarly these medicine that you take Buspin or Arpi aid in keeping your life smooth and steady. You will be able to manage work and relationship.
I understand that you do not wish to take it. You need not take it lifelong but you should take it at least until the time you feel better about yourself and your life.
Nicotex does not help with
anxiety in any way, buspin does. I do not know the need for you to take Nicotex.
Now, here are my suggestions to you:
- You already know what your problem is, I am glad about that. You can help yourself better now.
- First thing you must feel good about yourself.
- For the weight, do not bother much about it initially. You can taper the dose of your medicines. Start exercising and eat healthy. Exercise will change your outlook on life. You will like yourself more when you exercise. You would have dual benefits of it i.e. you will lose weight, and your need for medicine intake will reduce. Your outlook on life would change.
- For the work, do not let it take over you. Enjoy the work you do; else you may think of changing the work. Work at the optimum level. Do not strain yourself both physically and mentally. To keep you in the right pace, you may try
relaxation techniques like
yoga and
meditation.
- For the relationships, you must learn from your experiences. If you have the wrong people in your life, you must leave them now. You must be glad for the good people in your life. Making bold and strong decisions in relationships is important for anybody. More than anything else, love yourself more.
These are my brief suggestions to you. For now, to get the voices out of your head, you must continue your medications. Please discuss with your doctor about the same.
Wish you good health.
