Aproxametly i was 80% on 3mg risperdal
50% on 2mg.
Now about 35% on 1.25mg.
Even my sedation lessent i am still kind of lazy, thats how the medication made me. Now i need to push myself to do more things to get used to doing stuff. I need to reprogram my mind and body.

When I was on Saphris, I would say around 50%… 25 in the day, 75 at night after taking the meds.
not lazy. lack of motivation,interests and pleasure part of schiz.
My medication doesn’t sedate me at all. I sleep a normal 7 or 8 hours a day but don’t feel groggy.
hey,
It’s all about side effects versus efficiency!
I only take 10 mgs of Zyprexa but most nights I sleep 12 hours! I’m as low as clinically possible and still have the odd breakthrough but that is just how it is. Yes I’ve tried other antipsychotics but zyprexa works best for me!
Still. I volunteer at my cricket club which is an hour away and still play even though I’m 44 years old. I’m a crust, fat, opening bat who still has some skills! Keep yourself active!

I’m on Haldol and have zero drowsiness.
I’m on 30mg Abilify which is quite a heavy dosage and I haven’t felt that much sedated. I’m going down to 25mgs and hopefully soon down to 20. In February I’ve relapsed on 15mg so I suppose I won’t be able to go that low again.
