Absolutely! My injections (Abilify Maintena) keep me from hallucinating people talking about me in front of me and believing it’s actually happening. My medication for nightmares (Prazosin) keeps me from having the traumatizing, fatiguing nightmares I’ve been plagued with most of my life.

Fewer reports of confused behavior.
Don’t hold me out of the hospital. But that must be something that can be done. I was hospitalized last time after using antipsychotics.

My Zyprexa keeps me out of hospital but I’m sure it is bad for general health. antipsychotic can cause cholesterol (I have a high level of it) and can cause diabetes and many other problems, also related to heart functionning (I had taken abilify once and went to the ER because my heart was beating like crazy) so I hope I can quit soon

A while ago I tried seroquel for stabilising my mood. It could have worked for that, but I quit early due to side effects, and because I preferred to fix the problem by myself, which I managed to do eventually.
Propranolol for migraines but it was too slow-acting, so next to useless.
I tried various things for sleep with mixed results. I’ve been taking mirtazapine recently, and it has got me back to some stability, which is what I wanted from it. I was planning to give it 3 weeks but since it has worked so quickly I can come off it early.
