How do meds make you feel?

This might be an odd question. I started abilify this morning and I know its too early to truly be able to tell if they work but i feel good… Is it possible to show effects this fast?

I’ve got caught up on probably 3 months worth of cleaning and organizing, dishes cleaned, bed linen washed (still in dryer), listening to music (don’t remember the last time music sounded so good), i really didn’t think i had voices in my head besides my own but it’s so quiet in my head right now and it feels so good… Just my thoughts like before but so much quieter… More peaceful… If this is how I’m going to feel on antipsychotics more often, hell yes!!!
Don’t remember ever feeling like this… So internally peaceful

I’m on week 2 of taking 1 to 2 grams of Piracetam a day with my antipsychotics, and my voices are getting very quiet. They still pop in from time to time with a whispery remark, but it’s like a few times an hour rather than a constant stream of nonsense.

Feels good to have control of my mind back.

I should probably clean up my room, it’s getting bad.

That’s exactly how I feel right now, except that i didn’t realize they were voices, they were my voice but louder and a lot more random… Other hallucinations thought… So this how i am supposed to feel from now?

Hopefully your symptoms are under control. No one should have to live with constant voices.

Hope so, I’m just surprised/shocked on the severe difference compared to less than 12 hours ago…

Good luck with your recovery.

I guess it depends on the person, I was on abilify and felt like ■■■■, sedated, slow, dumb, now I’m off it and I feel way better.
