Does anyone else feel like they are zombified by abifily

I was on Abilify for years and yes come to think of it, it did make me feel zombified a bit.
More so than risperidone.

20mg made me feel like a zombie.
10mg wasn’t enough.
Now I’m on 15mg and it’s working out and doesn’t make me feel like a zombie.
I reacted to it with neuroleptic malignant syndrome. I was real stiff.
On 15mg and above,it would make so tired and lethargic that i would wake up at 4pm. It did nothing for psychosis like clozapine did.

Well, for me risperidone and clozapine made me more zombie compared with abilify and clozapine.
I used to sleep 11 to 12 hours with the 1st combo. Now with abilify I sleep 8 to 9 hours which is way better.
Both of them made me feel like zombie, although with abilify I think I have more energy…
I take 60mg abilify and I have no problem
I took abilify…I don’t think it zombified me. Only risperdone made me a Zombie.
Abilify does the exact opposite for me. When I first started taking it I had akathisia really bad. They had to put me back on artane to deal with that.
Sapphris made me a zombie. It also weakened my muscles
Not zombiefied that’s why I like it.
But it is sedating for me.
When I first take it I take it at night because makes me sleep.
After a few days it’s swotched to the morning as it stops being sedating OR stimulating.
But I believe it has roots in sedation for me more than activation.
