I have been prescribed Aripiprazole and was wondering whether this means that I am schizophrenic? No one has actually told me I am but I can only find "aripiprazole" and "schizophrenia" and/or "epilepsy". Can someone let me know roughly what I can expect when I start to take the pills?
Many thanks

No reasons where given except the fact that the doctors think my thought processes are not the "usual" (whatever that may be!). Its the pills or hospital. Can they really take me into hospital against my wishes? I haven't started the pills yet.
Thank you for the link. I shall print off and read at my leisure.

Many thanks for your "good luck" wishes. I am just worried that I am being prescribed something which I don't really need. I am putting it all down to the menopause and the abuse by other members of society.
Thanks again.

If your doc has prescribed a medicine for you he has obviously done it for a very good reason. Don't be scared of the meds, they are really quite safe.
Your doctor probably doesn't want to trouble you with a pigeonholing of your case. If you want you can discuss what label you want to put on your case with him, but it really doesn't matter.
All you need to do is take the medicine for a few months and tell your doctor if you start feeling better or worse.
good luck.
