5mg Abilify - nothing?

It’s hard to figure. When I first got Sick I went from Respiridal (did nothing ) to zyprexa (made me eat) and then finally Abilify which I stayed on for many years.

If 5mg does not work , was it zyprexa that pulled me out and kept me out of psychosis. ?

The only med that gave me sleep was rispridal …i took like 3 diff med no one gave me sleep so i dumped them and continue to take rispridal …every person react differently to medication…just do a short retrospectation then u will find which med help u much with psychosis…

I tried switching from Zyprexa to Abilify so I could write and not want to eat all the time. It didn’t work for me but part of that might have been because I didn’t give it enough of a chance. I just couldn’t stand not being able to sleep.

It’s kind of funny that basically all the psychiatrists do when you need a new med is go ‘Hey why don’t we try this one.’

Never had hallucination …i dont have positive symptoms at all…my problems are negative and cognitive …whats why my life is crippled. @anon80629714 Ish do u have hallucination and delusion…?? …if yes then med will treat it…negative symptoms are hard to treat …sorry…

This is strange but I’m not one to diagnose. Thought about getting a second opinion?
