Did you try Zyprexa in the past? Were your negative symptoms better on it?

Thanks @Leaf

@Aziz I was only on Zyprexa for about a month.
My blood sugar levels went up too high and my thyroid levels were off so my doctor at the time took me off of it.

I dont remember anything about my negative symptoms being worse.

I guess then you found your best med, Risperdal. Maybe they’ll have better meds in the future. There is Caplyta but idk if you would risk it by switching meds.

I’m starting to hear better things about Caplyta now.
Maybe one day I’ll try it but yeah it’s very risky.

That’s good @Wave. Definitely keep in touch with your pdoc and let her know how you’re feeling, especially if you’re noticing any significant changes.
