Asenapine a good idea? im going for it for negative symptoms and depressions that never end

paranoia is also permanent persistent, my diagnosis is paranoid schizophrenia ;(

i take Abilify depot 400 mg
a beta blocker
and Clonazepam 1 mg twice daily

i would be taking the asenapine only once a day at sleep 5 mg and they dont have the blue cherry taste here (i think)

So you will be taking both the Abilify and Saphris?
They mix well.
Asenapine is also an effective mood stabilizing drug with semi potent antidepressant properties.

Good luck with your mix. 2mg of Clonazepam a day seems a lot to me but maybe it’s not. I was only on 0.5 a day so it’s a lot more than I was taking. The effects wear off after a while as you become tolerant to it.
