Handicapped by medication

Starting to realize that it’s not that I have a mental handicap making me slow… it’s my med… I’m hoping 200mg of Abilify will bring me to some type of normalcy compared to invega trinza… if not then wow… this is hard.

Invega Sustenna gave me energy believe it or not. I liked it. But I can’t afford it anymore so I’m on Haldol now

Energy is not really the problem it’s more apathy, sexual dysfunction, boredom, slow thoughts, bad motor skills and no emotions.

I wonder if I even have mental illness. Imagine the medications block dopamine and you go off them even taper but it’s not a long enough taper and imagine all that dopamine being freed and causing a rush. I suffer from that laughter disorder I laugh a lot like that joker movie I when lm buy myself. I probably do have mental illness but yes these meds are very strong. I cry a lot and get very emotional and angry euphoric sad hysterical off them. So I’m. Stuck for life on meds I’m sure. But there’s worse things to dea with. Imagine being a burn victim or something. Abilify is a great med compared to some other ones. But it can cause gambling and shopping so just keep an eye on it. When I took it psychiatrist wasn’t aware it can cause gambling even though I came up with that conclusion after losing a bunch of money. I looked it up and there was class action lawsuits so just be aware

I’m on haldol I talk nonstop I can think and lift weights 4 days a week and do cardio the other three. I have absolutely no ambitions career wise though for some reason. I’m on a moderate 5 mg dose
