How many antipsychotics do you take? How many is too many?

I take risperidone and latuda, keeps me stable.

Zero. I used PRN haldol for a year. But now I cant use APs anymore because of a possibly life-threatening side effect returning. We have no clue how to solve that. It’s a bit of a nasty issue. I’m rather not psychotic. I’m also rather not dead. :woman_shrugging: In hospital again tomorrow.

I take only one. Aripiprazole.
I think maybe three diferent antipsychotics is too much, but maybe it’s ok if your psychiatrist thinks so.

That’s what I take. They had me on Caplyta for a while, but they took me off of them.

  1. A depot and a tablet

I take abilify maintena 400 all 28 days = 14,3 mg by days. but i am not free to choice my treatment because i have problems with police. In the past my low dose was 2,5 mg without problems of abilify solution liquide.

Don’t you fear I was on 3 antipsychotics for 12 years and that hasn’t shortened my life span as I’m now almost 54 years old. I dropped one of the 3 antipsychotics one year ago because that I’ had a bad reaction to that one.
Now I’m on.Clopixol LAI 500 mgs every 3.week and 800 mg Qutiapine by mouth
Nb. If your condition is hard to treat I’ll recommand 3.antipsychotics at the same time.

I take 30mg Zyprexa and 10mg Abilify. I am aggressive, psychopathic and violent on low doses thanks to my violent schizophrenia so I cannot complain.

You know CMB I also get very angry with out my meds. And that is one of the reason why I’m on such high doses of very calming antipsychotics.
